/**
 * CAuthManager is the base class for authorization manager classes.
 *
 * CAuthManager extends {@link CApplicationComponent} and implements some methods
 * that are common among authorization manager classes.
 *
 * CAuthManager together with its concrete child classes implement the Role-Based
 * Access Control (RBAC).
 *
 * The main idea is that permissions are organized as a hierarchy of
 * {@link CAuthItem authorization items}. Items on higer level inherit the permissions
 * represented by items on lower level. And roles are simply top-level authorization items
 * that may be assigned to individual users. A user is said to have a permission
 * to do something if the corresponding authorization item is inherited by one of his roles.
 *
 * Using authorization manager consists of two aspects. First, the authorization hierarchy
 * and assignments have to be established. CAuthManager and its child classes
 * provides APIs to accomplish this task. Developers may need to develop some GUI
 * so that it is more intuitive to end-users. Second, developers call {@link IAuthManager::checkAccess}
 * at appropriate places in the application code to check if the current user
 * has the needed permission for an operation.
 *
 * @property array $roles Roles (name=>CAuthItem).
 * @property array $tasks Tasks (name=>CAuthItem).
 * @property array $operations Operations (name=>CAuthItem).
