it's a nice plugin !

This doesn't work for me.

thodError in UsersController#index?

You have a nil object when you didn't expect it! The error occurred while evaluating nil.has_role?

This looks like exactly what I need except it looks like I will have to write it myself. Ah well. A link to the source code, maybe?

I've just installed the plugin and followed the instructions on the main page, but I'm confused about where to go now. How do I add roles to users? Some more documentation would be very helpful. Thanks!

agreed

just insert them into your database. Use a migration.

TIm,

How do you do this within a rails app, or in the console? Here's what I tried:

[root@sourceden trunk]# script/console Loading development environment (Rails 2.1.2) >> r_u = RolesUsers?.new :role_id => 1, :user_id => 13 NameError?: uninitialized constant RolesUsers?

from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.1.2/lib/active_support/

I need to add a role to a user after /signup, but I can't figure out how to do that.

TIA,

Good one... So, now i have restful_authentication for authentication and rolerequirement for role based access control. Rolerequirement supports hardcoded resources and actions for roles.

How about, a dynamic user defined, resource and action for roles?

Nice plugin. One query, how can I add a redirection if the user does not have the correct role?

Yes, look in the generated role_requirement.rb, under the access_denied method.

re: chewmanfoo,

u=User.find(1) r=Role.new r.name="admin" r.save

u.roles << Roles.find_by_name("admin")

Typo in comment above: the last line should say u.roles << Role.find_by_name("admin")

where is the documentation?
