Authorization pluginThis plugin provides a flexible way to add authorization to Rails.

The authorization process decides whether a user is allowed access to some feature. It is distinct from the authentication process, which tries to confirm a user is authentic, not an imposter. There are many authentication systems available for Rails, e.g., acts_as_authenticated and LoginEngine. This authorization system will play nicely with them as long as some simple requirements are met.
