...grant other members of the group to kick and ban. This is how I want to do it: I''m usgin acl_system2 and the creator can grant kick and ban permissions to group members by creating roles "kick_group_id" or "ban_group_id" for those users and then in the view I do: <% restrict_to "(creator | kick_#{@group.id}) do %> <%= link_to "kick this user out of the group", group_membership(@group,membership),:method=>''delete''%> <% end %> is this a good way to deal with this problem or is there a (way) better or simpler solution?
