rolify is a Ruby gem providing simple role management for Rails applications, with support for scoping roles to specific resource objects. It does not enforce authorization itself but integrates with gems like CanCanCan, Pundit, Devise, and AuthLogic.
Use cases
- manage user roles in a rails app
- scope roles to specific resources like forums
- check if a user has a role on a resource
- integrate roles with cancancan or pundit
- add role-based permissions to activerecord or mongoid models
When to avoid
- you need full authorization enforcement, not just role storage
- you are not using Rails with ActiveRecord or Mongoid
- you need a batteries-included access control system
