Select single column while using with_permissions_to(:read)?

[wgrrrr]

Hi there,

I'm trying to figure out how to select only a single column in conjunction with using with_permissions_to. It always selects all columns from all the tables involved in the authorization check. Does anyone know if this is possible?

Here is what I am trying:

MyObject.with_permissions_to(:read).select(:common_description)

However, if I remove the with_permissions_to(:read) call the single column select works as expected.

Thanks!

Just bumping this up again... has anyone figured out how to select individual columns while using the with_permissions_to method? I've seemingly looked at most of the internet, but can't find any reference to this at all.

Any help would be very appreciated! Thanks.
