Okay, here's my post: http://sritchie.github.io/2014/01/17/api-authentication-with-liberator-and-friend/ This is basically everything I understand about Friend, plus my integrations with Liberator. The code's in this example project: https://github.com/paddleguru/liberator-friend Hope this h

Re: Managing role-based permissions in Ring apps

To clarify, that was an example of content negotiation middleware, not ACL. If I were to tackle this, I would try to find or implement a pure ACL (not aware of web apps per se) library and then hook it up via Ring middleware. On Monday, January 13, 2014 12:45:23 PM UTC-8, Christopher Allen wrote

Re: Managing role-based permissions in Ring apps

Re: Managing role-based permissions in Ring apps

cemerick's Friend library is the way to do this: https://github.com/cemerick/friend I'm writing up a post on how to combine Friend with Liberator, for easy ACL management for RESTful APIs. Take a look and let us know what you think! Alexandr Kurilin January 12, 2014

Managing role-based permissions in Ring apps

My Ring app is undergoing growing pains: I think I need some kind of abstraction for managing user permissions when working with my RDBMS. Our system has few user roles and they all own or have rights to a bunch of data in a hierarchical fashion e.g. admin > manager > employee etc. So far I've got
