Rails - Apr 2005 - Role based logins

Hi all,

I want to set up a role based login to a system with two basic roles. 
So far we used only simple logins with no separation of roles. I do it 
using the Login Generator and then prepending a :login_required filter 
to the protected actions. Where is that filter method located?

I want to write two new filters based on it so I can protect some 
actions with a :admin_login_required filter and others still with a 
:other_role_login_required filter.

Do you have any tips on setting up the role hierarchy? e.g. the admins 
can do anything, the guys with ther other role only a subset of what 
the admins can do?

Many thanks in advance,
Nicky

Nicky,

	For the second part of your question, you may want to check out the 
RForum code. It''s a good example of a system with support for guests, 
admins and users.
