  • CanCanCan

    The authorization Gem for Ruby on Rails.

    • PS If you do mobile / web work (or something else with "detached" UI), I find that declarative access control rules are far superior to imperative ones, because they can be serialized and shipped over the wire. For example, backend running cancancan can be easily send the same rules to casl on the frontend, while if you used something like pundit to secure your backend, you either end up re-implementing it in the frontend, or sending ton of "canEdit" flags with every record.

  • CASL

    CASL is an isomorphic authorization JavaScript library which restricts what resources a given user is allowed to access
