I use 1.1/develop and the stationwagon example.
The problem is that $this->request->controller returns "\Controller_Account" not "account".
$access = Auth::has_access(array(
$this->request->controller,
$this->request->action
));
If you try 1.0/master $this->request->controller returns "account".
Is it a bug in 1.1/develop?
