Acl Extras provides a console app that helps you manage DbAcl records more easily. Its main feature and purpose is to make generating Aco nodes for all your controllers and actions easier. It also includes some helper methods for verifying and recovering corrupted trees.
At this point, this plugin is in pre-alpha status, and only compatible with my custom Croogo 1.4.x (pluggable-auth branch). It provides better compatibility with standard cakephp ACL with respect to ACO handling for plugins.
Clone the repo or download a tarball and install it into Plugin/AclExtras and activate it via Extensions -> Plugins menu.
You can find a list of commands by running Console/cake AclExtras.AclExtras -h from your command line.
