Declarative Authorization with I18n support

This is a fork of Steffen Bartsch’s declarative_authorization equipped with localization based on Rails default I18n.

Requirements

Rails 2.2 or above

Installation

One of three options to install the plugin:

Install by Gem: Add to your environment.rb in the initializer block:
```
config.gem "rubycs-declarative_authorization", :lib => "declarative_authorization"
```
And call from your application’s root directory
```
rake gems:install
```

Alternatively, to install from github, execute in your application’s root directory

cd vendor/plugins && git clone git://github.com/rubycs/declarative_authorization.git

Or, download one of the released versions from Github at github.com/rubycs/declarative_authorization/downloads

Usage

Please check the original documentation for detailed instructions.
Or, simply

** create a basic localization file. The original English file config/locales/en.declarative_authorization.yml looks like:

  end
end

  privilege :manage, :includes => [:create, :read, :update, :delete]
  privilege :read, :includes => [:index, :show]
  privilege :create, :includes => :new
  privilege :update, :includes => :edit

end

** add filter_access_ro :all in a controller. When navigating to the controller an Access Denied message should be present.
