= Context Based Access Control (cbac)

== Description
<em>Easy to use, light-weight authorization system for Rails applications.</em>

Context Based Access Control allows you to build a Rails application with both generic roles as well as context roles. The generic role part allows an application to authorize users with a conventional role system. The context part allows an application to authorize with a combination of the user credentials and the context of the requested action.

== Install
The gem can be installed using the 'gem' command: <code>gem install cbac</code>

Please use the correct version of _cbac_ in your *Gemfile*:
* for Rails 3 and lower: <code>gem 'cbac', '~> 0.6.10'</code>
* for Rails 4: <code>gem 'cbac', '~> 0.7.0'</code>
* for Rails 5: <code>gem 'cbac', '~> 0.8.0'</code>

== Usage
To use the gem, see the documentation at http://cbac.rubyforge.org.
