Hi,

Looks like you haven’t added Cancan yet to your list.
That would be a great plus to this already very good reference page.

Thanks in advance ;-)

It seems that none of these plugins allow for dynamic permission setting (where an admin can grant permission on specific objects to roles in a live system).

Did I miss something?

Why not store the permissions in a table rather than in a file?

+ 1 for adding CanCan to the list: it is actually really usable, and could manage simple to complex scenarios
(thank you, Ryan Bates)

Thank you for this comprehensive list of authorization plugins, it is very useful. Could you add CanCan to this list? It is a plugin I’ve been working on which is very simple (currently under 100 lines of code) but offers a lot of flexibility.
