Alberich is a model-integrated permissions engine that allows access control, and list filtering based on user and group-assigned permissions both globally and at an individual resouce level.

Tests are run from the project root directory. But are run in the context of the dummy app located under test/dummy. In order to run the tests you must first setup dummy app database.

rake db:setup; rake -f test/dummy/Rakefile test:prepare

Once you have done this cd to the project root and run the following:

rake spec

This will allow you to run the commands below to test out the engine in isolation (if mounted in another application, the main difference will just be where the engine gets mounted, so adjust your url accordingly).

cd test/dummy; rails s

When alberich is installed, an ‘entity’ object will be created for each user and user group in your system. This is a placeholder object which is used as the target for permission grants that can be applied to either a user or a group.

Alberich is released under the MIT license.
