Petergate

The access method mimics Rails before filters, making permission definitions intuitive and readable directly in controllers, as shown in the README with examples like access all: [:show, :index].

Petergate assumes Devise for authentication, providing out-of-the-box compatibility with minimal setup, requiring only standard methods like current_user and after_sign_in_path_for.

Supports custom roles with optional multiple roles per user, configured via a simple petergate method in the User model, allowing easy role assignment and queries like user.has_roles?.

Includes logged_in? helper for conditional content in views, enabling role-based UI changes without controller logic, as demonstrated in the ERB example for link visibility.

Features a :root_admin role that bypasses all checks, useful for administrative overrides in critical situations, though it requires caution as noted in the README.
