Instance Method Details

#privilege_const_set(constant, force_reload = false) ⇒ Object

Looks up or creates a privilege object using the caller’s name and the constant’s name. Finally sets the privilege object as a constant to the caller. Accepts a hash of names with descriptions like :name => description or a single string name value. If force_reload is set to true, the constant will be recreated from the DB. Returns an array of changed privileges.
