.instance(dsl_file = nil) ⇒ Object

Returns an instance of Engine, which is created if there isn’t one yet. If dsl_file is given, it is passed on to Engine.new and a new instance is always created.

#obligations(privilege, options = {}) ⇒ Object

Returns the obligations to be met by the current user for the given privilege as an array of obligation hashes in form of

[{:object_attribute => obligation_value, ...}, ...]

where obligation_value is either (recursively) another obligation hash or a value spec, such as

[operator, literal_value]

The obligation hashes in the array should be OR’ed, conditions inside the hashes AND’ed.

Example

{:branch => {:company => [:is, 24]}, :active => [:is, true]}

Options

:context

See permit!

:user

See permit!

end

#permit!(privilege, options = {}) ⇒ Object

Returns true if privilege is met by the current user. Raises AuthorizationError otherwise. privilege may be given with or without context. In the latter case, the :context option is required.

Options:

:context

The context part of the privilege. Defaults either to the tableized class_name of the given :object, if given. That is, :users for :object of type User. Raises AuthorizationUsageError if context is missing and not to be inferred.

:object

An context object to test attribute checks against.

:skip_attribute_test

Skips those attribute checks in the authorization rules. Defaults to false.

:user

The user to check the authorization for. Defaults to Authorization#current_user.

:bang

Should NotAuthorized exceptions be raised Defaults to true.
