The plugin includes a generator that will do all of the work for you.

Role Requirement

Role requirement is simple, but powerful, flexible, and well polished. It features code generators, powerful test-helpers to test your security, and a clean implementation which maximizes DRY development.

Requires acts_as_authenticated.

Active Acl

• The ActiveAcl plugin implements a flexible, fast and easy to use generic access control system providing object level granularity. The system is completely configurable at runtime, so no hardcoded roles exist.

Authorization

This plugin provides a flexible way to add authorization to Rails.

• A simple way of checking authorization at either the class or instance method level using permit and permit?
• Authorization using roles for the entire application, a model class, or an instance of a model (i.e., a particular object).
• Some english-like dynamic methods that draw on the defined roles. You will be able to use methods like “user.is_fan_of angelina” or “angelina.has_fans?”, where a ‘fan’ is only defined in the roles table.
• Pick-and-choose a mixin for your desired level of database complexity. For all the features, you will want to use “object roles table” (see below)

PunBB SDK

• Simple plugin provides wrapper model classes and a login generator that utilizes a PunBB installation. Similar to IPBSDK, it lets you create a rails site as a minimal functional shell ontop of your forum installation (assumes you can run php/ruby side by side in your environment).
