You are right. Now it’s correct.

Not to nitpick, but you’re missing a closing curly brace in your first example for your improved DSL, it should be as follows:

has_permission_on :companies, :to => :read do
if_attribute :branches => {
:manager => { :last_name => is { user.last_name } } }
if_permitted_to :read, :branches
end

For usage questions, please turn to the mailing list http://groups.google.com/group/declarative_authorization/

Actually, this should just work. Maybe you have an error elsewhere in your code.

How to set permission for a custom method?
has_permission_on :foos, :to => :ownmethod doesnt work (is blocked by default) :/

my last comment got messed up, not sure how. Just to clarify I did figure it out then.

I found the namespace documentation a little hard to follow. It would be nice if the documentation said something like.

Given the following Controller:
class SubscriptionAdmin::AccountsController [:index, :show, :new, :create, :edit, :update, :destroy]
end

end

Hi there. I’m just learning rails and I’m looking for authorization solutions. This one looks really interesting, but your github links are all giving me 404.. oops never mind looks like github is having issues in general :)
OK I’ll keep my eye on this an hope to learn more soon!
Thanks!

Thanks for the update, just let you know that declarative authorization is the best one out there imho. In long run it’s really much easier to manage rules in one place than searching around code. Cheers!
