ACL truncates action name

I have been using ACL successfully for a while but ran into an issue when I tried using an action name that was more than 16 characters long. When I add adminChangePassword as an access under my users resource | get the error

Access 'adminChangePassw' does not exist in resource 'users'
#0 [internal function]: Phalcon\Acl\Adapter\Memory->_allowOrDeny('Administrators', 'users', 'adminChangePass...', 1)

But using the name adminChangePassw works fine (apart from that it is a rubbish name). It appears that the name is being truncated at some point which I presume would be a bug.

Is that what is happening or can anyone give another explanation of this error?

A quick test

I've just tried adding an access in the users resource called 12345678901234567 and the error says that 1234567890123456 does not exist - truncating the last 7...

If you copied the ACL system from Vokuro

You can see here that the permissions table only have 16 chars for resource and action fields. https://github.com/phalcon/vokuro/blob/master/schemas/vokuro.sql#L70-L78

Just change the database structure to fit your needs.

I hadn't thought about looking in the database - I presumed it was something to do with the code itself...

Thanks, works perfectly now.
