pundit

We have hosted the application pundit in order to run this application in our online workstations with Wine or directly.

Quick description about pundit:

Pundit (varvet/pundit) is a Ruby gem that provides a simple and effective framework for adding authorization logic to Rails (or other Ruby) applications. It centers around policy classes—one policy per model or resource—that define what actions a given user is permitted to perform (e.g., show?, update?, destroy?). Each policy method returns a boolean, and can be structured using combinators or shared logic to keep things DRY. In controllers and views, Pundit provides helpers like authorize, policy_scope, and policy to enforce those rules cleanly and consistently. The policy_scope feature is especially helpful—it restricts index or list queries to only the records the current user can see by applying scopes defined in the policy class. Pundit encourages placing authorization logic close to the model domain without muddling controllers or views, making permissions easier to reason about and testable.

Features:

• Pundit is a Ruby library for authorization in web applications. It makes use of plain Ruby classes (“policies”) to define who is allowed to perform which actions in an application. Pundit doesn’t enforce a particular model for roles; instead, it gives tools (helpers, policy objects, scopes) so developers can encode authorization logic in a clear, object-oriented way. It integrates well with Rails (and other Rack based frameworks).
• Scope objects for limiting which records a user is allowed to see (e.g. in index actions)
• Helpers for integrating with controllers, like authorize and policy_scope
• No heavy DSL; very Ruby-ish, minimal overhead, simple, maintainable codebase
• Built-in generator to scaffold initial policy setup in a Rails app (rails g pundit: install)
• Works with or without ActiveRecord / Rails models (i.e. can authorize plain objects too)

Programming Language: Ruby.
