Rails - Aug 2009 - Users, Roles and Permissions

Hello,

I''m currently working on a text-based roleplay browser game, and
i''m trying
to figure out what the best approach would be in order to create a system
that allows me to assign roles to a user, and permissions based upon the
role a user has.
I''ve been thinking about creating a model User, which has_many :roles,
and
with the Role model which has_many :permissions.
The Permission Model would then just be a set of boolean that signal what he
can/can''t do.

I''m aware that there is the authorizable plugin, which delivers a nice
system, but I''m just trying to build something on my own to get the
feeling
for rails & ruby again. I believe that the above mentioned system would
work, but I''m a bit curious on the dynamic side of it. What
I''d actually
like to know, if it is possible to store the controller & actions
automaticly as properties of the Permission object, or if this has to be
done manually for each one I create?

ALso, I''m relatively new to the entire RoR concept, although I already
had a
first working experience with it, so I''m open to ideas &
suggestions as
well.

Why not try "Hobo", a rails extension. It includes a pretty decent
permission based system using roles... that u can set declaratively for your
application. Hobo also include a host of other realy cool features.

I''m aware of Hobo etc.
The idea behind this whole question line is more theoretical then
coding/practical implementation.

I''m just trying to figure out from analasys point of view what the best
approach would be to implement a dynamic system for roles/permissions on
users.
