similar to: RBAC?

yo, has anyone done a good RBAC implementation for rails? I see lotsa mini-tutorial-suggestions, but not... ActionRBAC! :) any pointers helpful - if nothing exists I think I''ll duplicate the RBAC implementation we did for binarycloud (binarycloud.com) and give it to the community. thanks for any help, _alex -- alex black, founder the turing studio, inc. 510.666.0074

I am starting a large project and still selecting what framework to use. Rather than ask brand x what is wrong with brand y, I am more interested in self confession. Why would I *not* want to use Rails (compared to Iowa and Nitro). I posted a synopsis of the project to ruby-talk but will repost it here if anyone wants it. xev

Hi I have just released the 0.3 revision of ActiveRecord - make sure to get the fresh, hot packages from https://activerbac.turingstudio.com/releases What is ActiveRBAC? ------------------- ActiveRBAC is a Ruby on Rails library that provides a full stack RBAC (Role Based Authorization) system with user, group, role and permission management. It provides models and controllers to edit

Hi I am happy to announce the 0.3.1 release of ActiveRBAC Engine. The biggest improvement on the 0.3 release is that it runs with Rails 1.1 now. Get your personal copy now from https://activerbac.turingstudio.com/releases :) There is a manual PDF with a tutorial available at https://activerbac.turingstudio.com/releases/ActiveRbacManual.pdf which is also included in the full

I have been using browsercam.com for CSS testing, but it is rather expensive. Recently, I discovered others using funadable.org to purchase a yearly membership as a group. A year long membership at browsercam.com costs $480.00. This gives us 25 user accounts. I am proposing that 25 people throw in $19.20 for their 1/25th share of the membership cost. Once I have raised $479.40 I will

Hi, I just finished writing this plug-in. I''ve been using rails for awhile but this is my first time extracting some code and writing it as a plug-in and I''d love to hear to some feedback. Thanks. http://mitchellhashimoto.com/rails/role-based-access-control-plug-in-for-rails/ -Mitchell -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi. I have an app where "users" can belong in "groups" with certain "roles" (eg. a user can own a group). Normally I''d make users has_and_belongs_to_many groups and put a role_id on the join table. But - a role is really a first class citizen also, so a model is in order. The problem with making a "role" model which has_many "users"

Hi, I''m building an application which is going to require quite fine grained access control. Deciding if a user is allowed to access an action will probably require checking quite number of different rules, so a simple role-based system won''t be flexible enough. The approach I think I will try first is, if it''s possible, to ignore permission issues inside the

Hi How do I publish a plugin so I can download it via ./script/plugin. I''ve put my plugin (ActiveRBAC) on http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/ pages/Plugins but seemingly ./script/plugin discover does not find it :/ Even if I do ./script/plugin source \ https://activerbac.turingstudio.com/source/active_rbac/trunk/ active_rbac it does not appear on ./script/plugin list.

I''ve recently started playing with InstantRails 1.0 and am now wanting to experiment with the Login and active RBAC engines but having trouble getting them to install. I''ve checked the following but can''t find any info on how to get it to work. http://rails-engines.org/wiki/pages/Engines+plugin I''ve also tried the following:

hey all, So, we''ve been trying to get a nice stable config running for deployment with SwitchTower, spinner spawner and reaper, and I have to say, they are, as it says in the title, teh suxx0r. <warning>I''m annoyed, and wrote this while annoyed</warning> ;) The problems are rife: 1. Because lighttpd has no control over the fcgis, the restart process is

I''m trying to design an RBAC solution for my project. I don''t want to use plugins or engines as I''d like to know how it works. My problem is as follows. I have 4 user types: caller, client, rep, admin. Each have their own model because they would require different registration information. For instance rep requires tax id # whereas caller requires social security

How''s the experience with using ActiveRBAC? For my "next 4 days with rails" :P I''d like to consider adding Role-based access to the To-Do List application in the original "four days w/ rails" tutorial. Just wondering if ActiveRBAC would be a good place to start? Thanks! For those who are wondering: https://activerbac.turingstudio.com/trac Cheers Mohit.

I''m trying to add / extend the default UserEngine schema (Guest/User/Admin) to support author only Update/Delete functions. At the moment, I allow ''Guest'' to read/view all records, and User additionaly has access to create/edit/destroy, however this means that any registered user is able to modify any record. My first thought was to add another filter in the chain

Hello all, I''ve just installed and begun to integrate the salted login generator. So far I''m very impressed, though I''ve hit a few snags along the way. Unfortunately, I''ve met the first one that I haven''t been able to resolve on my own. When I hit the login action, I get errors in my log files. The specific error with trace is included below.
