Class Method Details

.create_brand_new_object_roles(options = {}) ⇒ Object

create_brand_new_object_roles

For if you’ve been working without Authorizer and want to start using it. Obviously, if you don’t have any ObjectRoles then you’ll find yourself blocked out of your own app. This method will assign all objects listed in an array to a certain user. For instance:

user = User.find(1) objects = [ “Post”, “Category” ] Authorizer::Admin.create_brand_new_object_roles( :user => user, :objects => objects )

If objects is not specified, Admin will look for all descendants of ActiveRecord::Base and exclude the ObjectRole and User classes.

Authorizer::Admin.create_brand_new_object_roles( :user => user )
