Beta

Beta is an access control library that uses a Redis whitelist to control authorization.

Install

gem install beta

or

gem 'beta'

Usage

First we setup our initializer.

Beta.config do |config|
  redis = $redis
  uid = 'mlg_id'
  namespace    = 'awesome-app'
  redirect_url = 'http://majorleaguegaming.com'
  environments = [:production]
end

Then, in our controller, include our access helpers and add the before filter:

include Beta::AccessHelpers
before_filter :whitelist

Requires the existence of a current_user method.

Other helpers

• is_whitelisted?(user) checks to see if the given user is on the list.
• current_user_on_whitelist? leverages is_whitelisted? to tell you if the current user is special. Requires the existence of a current_user method.
