= acts_as_role

This is a minimalist implementation of roles using a database column to store the roles in plain text. You can specify the role values and a default role that should be used when model is initialized.

 class User < ActiveRecord::Base
 acts_as_role :role, :values = %w(admin owner user), :default => :user
 end

Use role field to store the user roles.

 user = User.new
 user.role => "user"
 user.has_role?(:user) => true

Test roles using has_#{role_column.singularize}? or has_#{role_column.pluralize}?

 user.has_roles?(:user, :admin) => false

 user.add_roles :owner
 user.has_roles?(:user, :owner) => true

Roles are stored using plain text
