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.

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.

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"

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:

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

Can I set an application wide instance variable that is available for all actions...and their views? eg. class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base @current_user = User.find(session[:user_id]) end and everywhere I can call @current_user.id and I can get that object? Even down in the views? I could not get this to work... Thanks in advance, Jeff -------------- next part

there is a blog about it http://www.realityforge.org/articles/2005/11/12/aaa_in_rails There are so many Authentication/Authorization/Auditing generators now, just like the situation in java''s world, Too many components doing the samething just make me confusion. Why not add one to rails core lib and everybody can extend it for their requirement ? -- Posted via

Hi All, I am making a DAM (seems to be the hip thing to do these days). It is for the company that I work for. We have some really weird domain rules that have prevented me from just using a simple directory structure file permission system. I have come up with a solution but I wanted to run it by you gurus to ensure that I am not recompiling the wheel here. Basically the domain rule is: A user

Hello Keegan, You may already have forgotten about your posting from last month - but I stumbled across the EXACT same error today, and figured out a way around it. The difficulty stems from you running under Windows XP, probably running InstantRails, right? I fairly quickly discovered that the reason things were not working according to the ActiveRBAC Manual was that the code for
