I need to monitor when the roles for a user change (say a role is
added or deleted).
The natural thing that occurs to me is to place callbacks (eg,
before_save) in the join table (say roles_users if the subjects are
users).
However, acl9 uses HABTM associations so there is no model associated
with the join table.
Any ideas on how I can do this?
After searching here and there I found there was an effort to modify
acl9 to use has_many :through associations. Does anybody know if this
is working and where to find it?

Any help here would be greatly appreciated. THanks, Jose

One way would be to override User.has_role! and User.has_no_role! methods...

Sharad,
Thanks for the idea. I had already begun work on those lines, and it
seems to be workable.
