Hello all,

I released another plugin today, RoleRequirement.  It builds on top of
acts_as_authenticated to give you an easy way to define role-based
permissions for your controller.  Also, it provides test helpers to make it
as simple as possible to test your authentication.  Complete with rdoc
documentation and examples.

I built this plugin because I wasn't satisfied with the options out there.
They felt overkill to me, and some even wanted me to learn a new language.
RoleRequirement is simple but flexible, and leverages the power of ruby so
you don't have to learn a new language.

If any of you are feeling excited enough to try it, let me know what you
think!  It's been installed in several projects so far and is
feature-complete, so you can proceed with relative ease.

Thanks,

Tim

You rock Tim!

I was just looking for something like this for a large corporate site  
I'm building.

I'll test it and use it :D

Sweet action Eric!  You're a stallion.

Have you had a chance to try it out yet?  I had one guy install it and had
an issue.  I've since fixed it and he's been good to go with it.

Right now, I'm working on a few generators for it (to help generate the
roles table and has_role? Action in the User model).  That's not too far
away from being released.

Let me know how it goes for you ;)

I haven't added it yet, but I plan on having the whole app complete  
by mid next week.  I actually need two different role based systems  
to work side by side.  I have two different logins with different  
roles for each on the site I'm working on.  When I used  
acts_as_authenticated, it would not allow reusable libraries for  
this.  Does your generator also cover this issue by chance?

No.. I am building an admin center for managing the site contents,  
and also a partners login so the partners can perform actions with  
the site.
