I am developing an application which users authlogic for authentication.
I would like some way of giving users roles so that I can authorize certain actions to certain roles.
Is there an 'out of the box' gem or plugin that suits this or would I be better build it from scratch.
What would you recommend?
ACL9 is what i currently use for the authorization, authlogic is the best match so i think you will do fine with it.
