If attribute_check is set for filter_access_to, decl_auth_context will try to load the appropriate object from the current controller’s model with the id from params. If that fails, a 404 Not Found is often the right way to handle the error. If you have additional measures in place that restricts the find scope, handling this error as a permission denied might be a better way. Set failed_auto_loading_is_not_found to false for the latter behavior.

end

#has_role?(*roles, &block) ⇒ Boolean

While permitted_to? is used for authorization, in some cases content should only be shown to some users without being concerned with authorization. E.g. to only show the most relevant menu options to a certain group of users. That is what has_role? should be used for.

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

#permitted_to!(privilege, object_or_sym = nil, options = {}) ⇒ Object

Works similar to the permitted_to? method, but throws the authorization exceptions, just like Engine#permit!

def permitted_to! (privilege, object_or_sym = nil, options = {})
  authorization_engine.permit!(privilege, options_for_permit(object_or_sym, options, true))
end

#permitted_to?(privilege, object_or_sym = nil, options = {}) ⇒ Boolean

If the current user meets the given privilege, permitted_to? returns true and yields to the optional block. The attribute checks that are defined in the authorization rules are only evaluated if an object is given for context.

See examples for Authorization::AuthorizationHelper #permitted_to?

If no object or context is specified, the controller_name is used as context.

Returns:

  • (Boolean)
