This document discusses SessionAcl, a CakePHP component that caches ACL permissions in the session to improve performance. It was created by Mac Duy Hai and allows checking permissions by retrieving cached data from the session rather than querying the database on every request. The document provides instructions on how to add SessionAcl as a component in CakePHP and notes that the built-in AclComponent had issues in CakePHP 1.3.6 that have since been fixed.
