Rails. How do I extend Authlogc with roles?

Question

Hello,

I am using Authlogic for my user authentication, and would like yo add roles to my users - Need security check from model's and controller's

current_user.has_role?('admin') etc

There is a lot of role based plugins out there, but I not sure which when to use with Authlogic. Does anyone what works best with Authlogic? (if any..)

Best regards. Asbjørn Morell.

Check out the acl9 plugin. It's a really powerful solution and the author himself suggests Authlogic as underlying Authentication system.

Acl9 is a authorization solution, so you will need to implement authentication by other means. I recommend Authlogic for that purpose, as it’s simple, clean and at the same time very configurable.
