I want to have a simple model without a table for ACL purposes because there aren''t going to be many methods at all. How could I have a Model like... ControllerMethod securitylevel users_list 8 reports_ar 6 ar_print_checks 7 so I can use retrieve and use these values in a before_filter in ApplicationController.rb? The intent is to create a lightweight ACL system. I don''t see the need to actually create a table or store the data in a table at all. Any suggestions on how I can accomplish this?

If your model isn''t abstracting the DB in anyway, just don''t have it inherent from ActiveRecord::Base... or perhaps I''m not understanding part of your question?

Also, I recommend that you (the OP, that is) take a look at Authlogic, which uses a tableless model for user authentication; perhaps it will do what you want.

I just had to keep it simple. Thanks Craig -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
class ModelName < ActiveRecord::Base
# Add Following lines in a model
def self.columns() @columns ||= []; end
def self.column(name, sql_type = nil, default = nil, null = true)
columns << ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::Column.new(name.to_s,
default, sql_type.to_s, null)
end
end
