welcome to the acl_system plugin for rails. this plugin is designed to give you a flexible declarative way of protecting your various controller actions using roles. it's made to site on top of any authentication framework that follows a few conventions. you will need to have a current_user method that returns the currently logged in user. and you will need to make your user or account model(or whatever you named it) have a has_and_belongs_to_many :roles. so you need a model called role that has a title attribute. once these two things are satisfied you can use this plugin. so lets take a look at the sugar you get from using this plugin. keep in mind that the !blacklist part isn’t really necessary here. i was just showing it as an example of how flexible the permissions string logic parser is. class postcontroller < applicationcontroller before_filter :login_required, :except => [:list, :index] access_control [:new, :create, :update, :edit] => '(admin | user | moderator)', :delete => 'admin & (!moderator & !blacklist)'. of course you can define them all seperately if they differ
