Question by PalAla
I want to know what is resouces in ACL, is it module, controller in a module or action in controller in module.
In the documentation, resoiurces (newsletter, news,latest) and others are not clear what they are.
Also in this example the resources are not clear!!!
[mainMenu]
login = Everyone
applications = Everyone
preferences = User
administration = Implementor
[userPreferences]
details = User
params = User
themes = User

Resource is simply something you want to limit access to. It could be a page, a record in your DB or whatever your application needs.
I wrote a three-part series on Zend_Acl, in which I talk about what resources are amongst other things: http://codeutopia.net/blog/2009/02/06/zend_acl-part-1-misconceptions-and-simple-acls/

For example
new Zend_Acl_Resource('someResource')
Denotes that someResource points to an PHP module/section, which is suppose to be accessible but, it has be controlled so that only authorized roles can access it.
