Thanks Marnen, that's the kind of info I needed as a newbie. I ended up rolling back and calling it: ProjectPermissions
The last high-level puzzle piece is in CanCan where it determines what permission is granted, with the bitmask method it looks like: if user.admin_for_project?(project) can :manage, :all else can :read, :all end Given the Y relationship we created, in Rails how to you put that into the IF statement above? *** if user.permissions.role.find(admin)?(current_project) *** And I'd be passing the current_project variable from the application_controller...
