An idea came to my mind right now. You could either create your own
plugin which implements ACL, groups etc. I'm sure somebody will need
it one day ;) That's how things come to being.
The other thing is that when an user is created he or the admin can
set an attribut in which group he/she belongs like in *nix system. Or
you can use a default setting etc.

Example
Normally you would have a user model with the following attributes

User:
 - name
 - password
 - ...

Than you create a group model and assosiate a user to a group or to
several groups.
You could also mark/flag some resources with an group id/attribute, so
that an user can access that resource only iff he is a member of that
certain group. Just like *nix platforms.


Hope, I could help. Btw I'm a Rails newby, but that was an idea that
came to my mind. Maybe a rails veteran can add some comment.


Greetings

Chris
