oh is very easy with cancan and the wiki has eveything you need i recommend making the "is()" function that says the wiki
there are 2 easy ways to set a permission with cancan one is the general way if user.is(:guest) can :read, Article this means that gues user can read articles, all of them in general the specific way is this can :edit, Article do |article| if article.owner == user end this means that user is allowed to edit if he is the owner in case of your proyects you can do this can :manage, Proyect do | proyect| if proyect.user == current_user end if current_user.is(:guest) can :read, Proyect or if currenct.is(:guest) can :read, Proyect do | proyect| if proyect.public == true end On Tue, Sep 14, 2010 at 3:19 PM, nobosh <bhellm...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Marnen, thanks I think that's great.
