Rails - Sep 2008 - Authentication including Authorization (Roles/Rights/Permissions)

It''s been couple of days messing around with Internet looking for a
good
Authentication including Autorization system/plugin for Ruby On Rails.

I''ve found lots of sources related to that. However, most of them are
old,
not frequently updated, not even well documented.

Please, any suggestions/solution considering Rails 2.1?

Thanks in advance.

I will list two for you, but I still recomend a search on Github:

- Lockdown - http://github.com/stonean/lockdown/

- Restful-Authorization - http://github.com/jbarket/restful-authorization/

I''ve been using Authlogic, and love it. It''s fairly new, so
doesn''t have
the recognition or contributions that restful-authentication does. 
However, I find that Authlogic''s design philosophies are more in tune 
with me than, say, restful-authentication''s.

I have been reading through the Authlogic docs and it seems nice and
sleek. I think I will test it on my app. Thanks,

I normally use a bit on the user, to use a more rolebased approach.
bool (admin)
So in your controller you can just use user.admin? to verify if they
are allowed access to the function.
