Tried delete_authorized? destroy_authorized, using the security layer. Also I've tried "before_filter :add_delete_if_admin" method. I am still able to delete using a non-admin user. I can't even hide the delete option base on the user permission.
Soren, when you mention the "RESTful authentication", is it already built in activescaffold? I'am using a custom user system base on the login generator. Please shred me some light. Please.....
