Add the Routes - ./config/routes.rb ActionController::Routing::Routes.draw do |map| ... ### remove map.root if already defined map.root :controller => :re_plans, :action => 'template' map.resources :re_plans, :member => {:change => :get, :preview => :get, :publish => :put, :revert => :put, :re_process => :get} do |re_map| re_map.resources :workflows, :controller => :re_plan_workflows, :except => [:index], :member => {:change => :get, :default => :put, :add => :put, :remove => :put} do |re_pipeline| re_pipeline.resources :rules, :controller => :re_plan_workflow_rules, :except => [:index, :show], :collection => {:help => :get, :error => :get}, :member => {:move_up => :put, :move_down => :put} end end map.resources :re_workflows, :collection => {:add => :get}, :member => {:plan => :get, :change => :get, :preview => :get} do |re_pipeline| re_pipeline.resources :rules, :controller => :re_workflow_rules, :except => [:index, :show], :collection => {:help => :get, :error => :get}, :member => {:move_up => :put, :move_down => :put} end map.resources :re_processes, :only => [:index, :show] map.resources :re_publications, :only => [:show] ... ###################################### # 5. Define the Access Levels - ./app/controllers/application_controller.rb class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base helper_method :rules_engine_reader?, :rules_engine_editor? def rules_engine_reader? # why cookies[:rules_engine_reader] ? It's a workaround for cucumber testing return cookies[:rules_engine_reader].nil? ? true : cookies[:rules_engine_reader].downcase == 'true' end def rules_engine_editor? # why cookies[:rules_engine_editor] ?
