This is completely decoupled from any role based implementation allowing you to define user roles the way you want. All permissions are stored in a single location for convenience. This assumes you already have authentication (such as Authlogic[http://github.com/binarylogic/authlogic]) which provides a current_user model. -See the RDocs[http://rdoc.info/projects/ryanb/cancan], Wiki[http://wiki.github.com/ryanb/cancan] and Railscasts episode[http://railscasts.com/episodes/192-authorization-with-cancan] for additional documentation. - == Installation You can set it up as a gem in your environment.rb file.
