Other common actions here are # :read, :create, :update and :destroy. # # The second argument is the resource the user can perform the action on. If you pass # :all it will apply to every resource. Otherwise pass a Ruby class of the resource. # # The third argument is an optional hash of conditions to further filter the objects. # For example, here the user can only update published articles. # # can :update, Article, :published => true # # See the wiki for details: https://github.com/ryanb/cancan/wiki/Defining-Abilities end end
