 CanCan is an authorization library for Ruby on Rails which restricts what resources a given user is allowed to access. All permissions are defined in a single location (the +Ability+ class) and not duplicated across controllers, views, and database queries.
 
 
 == Installation
 
-In <b>Rails 3</b>, add this to your Gemfile.
+In <b>Rails 3</b>, add this to your Gemfile and run the +bundle+ command.

 == Getting Started
 
-CanCan expects a +current_user+ method to exist. If you have not already, set up some authentication (such as Authlogic[http://github.com/binarylogic/authlogic] or Devise[http://github.com/plataformatec/devise]). See {Changing Defaults}[http://wiki.github.com/ryanb/cancan/changing-defaults] if you need different behavior.

See {Changing Defaults}[https://github.com/ryanb/cancan/wiki/changing-defaults] if you need different behavior.
 
-Next create a class called +Ability+ in "models/ability.rb" or anywhere else in the load path. It should look similar to this.

-        can :manage, :all
-      else
-        can :read, :all
-      end
-    end
-  end
 
-The +current_user+ is passed in to this method which is where the abilities are defined. See the "Defining Abilities" section below for more information.
+  rails g cancan:ability
 
-The current user's permissions can be accessed using the "can?" and "cannot?" methods in the view and controller.
+See {Defining Abilities}[https://github.com/ryanb/cancan/wiki/defining-abilities] for details.
+
+
+=== 2. Check Abilities & Authorization
+
+The current user's permissions can then be checked using the <tt>can?</tt> and <tt>cannot?</tt> methods in the view and controller.
 
   <% if can? :update, @article %>
     <%= link_to "Edit", edit_article_path(@article) %>

-== Defining Abilities
+=== 4. Lock It Down
 
-As shown above, the +Ability+ class is where all user permissions are defined. The current user model is passed into the initialize method so the permissions can be modified based on any user attributes. CanCan makes no assumption about how roles are handled in your application. See {Role Based Authorization}[http://wiki.github.com/ryanb/cancan/role-based-authorization] for an example.
+If you want to ensure authorization happens on every action in your application, add +check_authorization+ to your ApplicationController.
 
-The +can+ method is used to define permissions and requires two arguments. The first one is the action you're setting the permission for, the second one is the class of object you're setting it on.
+  class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
-
+    check_authorization
-  can :update, Article
-
-You can pass an array for either of these parameters to match any one. In this case the user will have the ability to update or destroy both articles and comments.
-
-  can [:update, :destroy], [Article, Comment]
-
-Use :+manage+ to represent any action and :+all+ to represent any class. Here are some examples.
-
-  can :manage, Article   # has permissions to do anything to articles
-  can :read, :all        # has permission to read any model
-  can :manage, :all      # has permission to do anything to any model
-
-You can pass a hash of conditions as the third argument to further define what the user is able to access. Here the user will only have permission to read active projects which he owns.
-
-  can :read, Project, :active => true, :user_id => user.id
-
-See {Defining Abilities with Hashes}[http://wiki.github.com/ryanb/cancan/defining-abilities-with-hashes] for more information.
-
-Blocks can also be used if you need more control.
-
-  can :update, Project do |project|
-    project.groups.include?(user.group)
   end
 
-If the block returns true then the user has that ability for that project, otherwise he will be denied access. See {Defining Abilities with Blocks}[http://wiki.github.com/ryanb/cancan/defining-abilities-with-blocks] for more information.
+This will raise an exception if authorization is not performed in an action. If you want to skip this add +skip_authorization_check+ to a controller subclass. See {Ensure Authorization}[https://github.com/ryanb/cancan/wiki/Ensure-Authorization] for more information.
 
 
-== Aliasing Actions
+== Wiki Docs
 
-You will usually be working with four actions when defining and checking permissions: :+read+, :+create+, :+update+, :+destroy+. These aren't the same as the 7 RESTful actions in Rails. CanCan automatically adds some default aliases for mapping those actions.
+* {Upgrading to 1.6}[https://github.com/ryanb/cancan/wiki/Upgrading-to-1.6]
-
+* {Defining Abilities}[https://github.com/ryanb/cancan/wiki/Defining-Abilities]
-  alias_action :index, :show, :to => :read
+* {Checking Abilities}[https://github.com/ryanb/cancan/wiki/Checking-Abilities]

+* {Exception Handling}[https://github.com/ryanb/cancan/wiki/Exception-Handling]
-
+* {Changing Defaults}[https://github.com/ryanb/cancan/wiki/Changing-Defaults]
-Notice the +edit+ action is aliased to +update+. This means if the user is able to update a record he also has permission to edit it. You can define your own aliases in the +Ability+ class.
+* {See more}[https://github.com/ryanb/cancan/wiki]
-
-  alias_action :update, :destroy, :to => :modify
-  can :modify, Comment
-  can? :update, Comment # => true
-
-The +alias_action+ method is an instance method and usually called in +initialize+. See {Custom Actions}[http://wiki.github.com/ryanb/cancan/custom-actions] for information on adding other actions.
-
-
-== Fetching Records
-
-It is possible to fetch records which the user has permission to read using the +accessible_by+ scope in Active Record.
-
-  @articles = Article.accessible_by(current_ability)
-
-Since version 1.4 this is done automatically when loading resources in the index action, so one rarely needs to do it manually.
-
-This will only work when abilities are defined using hash conditions, not blocks. See {Fetching Records}[http://wiki.github.com/ryanb/cancan/fetching-records] for more information.

+= CanCan Specs
+
+== Running the specs
+
+To run the specs first run the +bundle+ command to install the necessary gems and the +rake+ command to run the specs.
+
+  bundle
+  rake
+
+The specs currently require Ruby 1.8.7. Ruby 1.9.2 support will be coming soon.
+
+
+== Model Adapters
+
+CanCan offers separate specs for different model adapters (such as Mongoid and Data Mapper). By default it will use Active Record but you can change this by setting the +MODEL_ADAPTER+ environment variable before running. You can run the +bundle+ command with this as well to ensure you have the installed gems.
+
+  MODEL_ADAPTER=data_mapper bundle
+  MODEL_ADAPTER=data_mapper rake
+
+The different model adapters you can specify are:
+
+* active_record (default)
+* data_mapper
+* mongoid
+
+You can also run the +spec_all+ rake task to run specs for each adapter.
+
+  rake spec_all
