Hi Marnen, thanks I think that's great. The question is now will
CanCan Support that? Are you familiar with CanCan?
Something like... (ability.rb)
def initialize(user)
user ||= User.new
if user.role? :super_admin
.
.
end
user.rb
def role?(role)
return !!self.permission.find_by_name(role.to_s.camelize)
end
? That's the piece I can't put together.
thxs!
