Constructor Details

#initialize(base_behavior, action, subject, *extra_args, &block) ⇒ Rule

The first argument when initializing is the base_behavior which is a true/false value. True for “can” and false for “cannot”. The next two arguments are the action and subject respectively (such as :read, @project). The third argument is a hash of conditions and the last one is the block passed to the “can” call.
