I have controller folders setup as:

member/
manager/
admin/

They all deal with products and I don't want to have one
ProductController at the controllers/ level that has all the functions
(view a product, add a product, delete a product). This is the way I'd
like to set it up:

member/product_controller - view()
manager/product_controller - add()
admin/product_controller - delete()

What is the best way to accomplish this division of controller
functionality? I know that I can modify the paths for controllers in
bootstrap.php, but if I have the same controller under multiple
locations, which one will cake find? The first in the list I assume?
The other solution I was thinking of is to name the controllers
differently, but is this the best way to do it?

mem_product_controller
mgr_product_controller
adm_product_controller

I'm new to CakePHP ... I'm not sure if this is doable with cake's MVC
naming conventions.

Thanks for your help!

Or you can create separate plugins for each member/manager/admin, but
that becomes too much.

Or you just use 1 controller, and use an ACL type system that
determines what they can and cannot do.
