Pundit

  • Pundit is what I use for Authorisations in rails
  • CanCan is another alternative which I belive is more popular.

Install the Pundit Gem​

  • Get the latest version of the gem from rubygems
gem 'pundit', '~> 2.1'

Generate the Policies​

  • Policies is the term Pundit uses for policy management.
  • Running this command will create your first policy in app/policies/application_policy.rb
rails g pundit:install

Including in Application Controller​

  • Add the following line in application_controller.rb
include Pundit
  • See [Creating a new policy next](Creating a new Policy.md)
