Thanks for your response. I had thought of the production mode scenario as well. I was thinking of "pre-loading" into the model(s) all the permissions created on rails startup. Although I was looking to tackle that bit once I had the above figured out.
I was actually looking to do something like this as adding all the CRUD methods for a model attribute to a model beforehand would be tedious. Plus I believe it would degrade performance if for each of the scaffolds it had to go through all those methods per attribute. If I have 10 attributes on my model, that would be 40 methods! If adding dynamically is something that I cannot do though, how would you suggest I tackle a situation like this? Appreciate any insight you can provide.
