I am using Omniauth for the purpose of connecting the user to my app via facebook/twitter...therefore the CanCan combo wont really be of much use unless I assign privileges to certain users in my app. The issue I am encountering is specific to the hash of user specific information that facebook/twitter passes into my app via the registration callback.
thanks for the suggestion.
