Instance Method Details

#authorized_for?(options = {}) ⇒ Boolean

A generic authorization query. This is what will be called programatically, since the actual permission methods can’t be guaranteed to exist. And because we want to intelligently combine multiple applicable methods.

options should be a CRUD verb (:create, :read, :update, :destroy) options should be the name of a model attribute options is the name of a method

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

Raises:

  • (ArgumentError)
