rails-authorization-plugin

Authorization pluginThis plugin provides a flexible way to add authorization to Rails. The authorization process decides whether a user is allowed access to some feature. It is distinct from the authentication process, which tries to confirm a user is authentic, not an imposter. There are many ... [More] authentication systems available for Rails, e.g., acts_as_authenticated and LoginEngine. This authorization system will play nicely with them as long as some simple requirements are met. IMPORTANT NOTE : The SVN repository for this project on this site has been hidden. The SVN repo will no longer be updated as of 10/5/2008. You are encouraged to take a look instead at the README and our source code repository on GitHub for all code, including plugin installation. Links to both can be found below: See the README.rdoc at the git repository for examples and documentation. The git repository is here. [Less]

badges

Badges is an authorization plugin (as in "we don't need no stinking badges" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stinking_badges). It does not provide authentication capability, nor it's own User model, but instead is meant to work with other authentication plugins such as ... [More] acts_as_authenticated or restful_authentication. You will need a User model, and the 'current_user' method to be implemented at the controller level using an include. Badges relies on the following domain model: A Privilege represents a particular named capability that is checked for authorization. Roles have a set of Privileges. Privileges can belong to more than one Role. Users can have one or more Roles. Users can have a role in general, or a role on an authorizable object, or on a Class of authorizable objects. Badges enforces authorization by checking if a user has a particular privilege. Users get privileges by having roles, as each role comes with a certain set of privileges. Since what privileges a role has is stored in the database, it is easy to create new roles with different levels of privilege without needing to change any code, or to change existing roles while the application is running. There is an included UI for updating roles and privileges. Authorization can be checked at all layers of the application: view, controller, and model. View: You have the privilege to 'Are you sure?', :method => :delete %> the project! Controller: class FooController < ApplicationController # need to have 'manage foos' privilege to create, update or destroy privilege_required 'manage foos', :on=>Some::Foo :only => [:create, :update, :destroy] endModel: class Project < ActiveRecord::Base badges_authorizable_object privilege_required 'can create project'=>:create, 'can view projects'=>:find end [Less]
