Recommendation for Role Gem

Question

I have successfully gotten authlogic working with rails 3 on windows 7 x64. But I'm lost as for what I should use for managing user privileges any suggestion? Thank you

Answer 1

Cancan http://github.com/ryanb/cancan is flexible enough to be easily extended with roles as Martin Rehfeld did with https://github.com/martinrehfeld/role_model. I've used this combination so often I created a gem to make working with these two gems simple https://github.com/james2m/canard

Answer 2

There are lots of options for authorization. My favorites in order are:

• Declarative Auth: http://github.com/stffn/declarative_authorization
• Ryan Bates' cancan: http://github.com/ryanb/cancan
• ACL9: http://github.com/be9/acl9
