module ActiveAdmin # Default Authorization permissions for Active Admin module Authorization READ = :read CREATE = :create UPDATE = :update DESTROY = :destroy end Auth = Authorization # Active Admin's default authorization adapter. This adapter returns true # for all requests to `#authorized?`. It should be the starting point for # implementing your own authorization adapter. # # To view an example subclass, check out `ActiveAdmin::CanCanAdapter` class AuthorizationAdapter attr_reader :resource, :user # Initialize a new authorization adapter. This happens on each and # every request to a controller. # # @param [ActiveAdmin::Resource, ActiveAdmin::Page] resource The resource # that the user is currently on. Note, we may be authorizing access # to a different subject, so don't rely on this other than to # pull configuration information from. # # @param [any] user The current user. The user is set to whatever is returned # from `#current_active_admin_user` in the controller. # def initialize(resource, user) @resource = resource @user = user end # Returns true of false depending on if the user is authorized to perform # the action on the subject. # # @param [Symbol] action The name of the action to perform. Usually this will be # one of the `ActiveAdmin::Auth::*` symbols. # # @param [any] subject The subject the action is being performed on usually this # is a model object. Note, that this is NOT always in instance, it can be # the class of the subject also. For example, Active Admin uses the class # of the resource to decide if the resource should be displayed in the # global navigation. To deal with this nicely in a case statement, take # a look at `#normalized(klasss)` # # @returns [Boolean] def authorized?(action, subject = nil) true end # A hook method for authorization libraries to scope the collection. By # default, we just return the same collection. The returned scope is used # as the starting point for all queries to the db in the controller. # # @param [ActiveRecord::Relation] collection The collection the user is # attempting to view. # # @returns [ActiveRecord::Relation] A new collection, scoped to the # objects that the current user has access to. def scope_collection(collection) collection end private # The `#authorized?` method's subject can be set to both instances as well # as classes of objects. This can make it much difficult to create simple # case statements for authorization since you have to handle both the # class level match and the instance level match. # # For example: # # class MyAuthAdapter < ActiveAdmin::AuthorizationAdapter # # def authorized?(action, subject = nil) # case subject # when Post # true # when Class # if subject == Post # true # end # end # end # # end # # To handle this, the normalized method takes care of returning a object # which implements `===` to be matched in a case statement. # # The above now becomes: # # class MyAuthAdapter < ActiveAdmin::AuthorizationAdapter # # def authorized?(action, subject = nil) # case subject # when normalized(Post) # true # end # end # # end def normalized(klass) NormalizedMatcher.new(klass) end class NormalizedMatcher def initialize(klass) @klass = klass end def ===(other) @klass == other || other.is_a?(@klass) end end end end
