That is unfortunate. In the below article Tom states it should work (though that was last November): http://groups.google.com/group/hobousers/browse_thread/thread/68ccb37656fe99a3/24595757c241f690
The problem is, after I get this basic use_credit working I want to expand it. The record is created from a code object. To know the number of credits to use I need to query the code object. I was planning on accessing it from the record object in before_create. That won't exist yet in the permissions system. Is there a way to get a pointer to the instantiating object in the permission system? Is there another function maybe, something like create_permitted_for_code? or something? Additionally, use_credit does modify the user object (deducts a credit). I believe the permissions system is often queried to determine if something can be done so side effects would be bad. Is this correct? Anyway, thanks for the suggestion. An owner type association may work out. I will try that first.
