One drawback of Authority is that it is a one way street, it let's you say: can user read this document? but it doesn't try to do something like: give me all the documents that this user can read. I think that cancan tries to do this.
It also doesn't deal with restricting access to particular attributes. Sebastian
Tim Uckun <mailto:[email protected]> 22 February 2013 11:09 AM I saw this the other day http://bizarre-authorization.talks.makandra.com/ and it was quite interesting. It uses two gems I hadn't heard of before Consul and assignable_values. CanCan is able to do a lot of that but not everything. Authority gem is also nice. What have you guys used when you needed complex and seemingly insane Authorization schemes? Has CanCan been enough for everybody?
