-== Permissions in Database
-
-Perhaps a non-coder needs the ability to modify the user abilities, or you want to change them without having to re-deploy the application. In that case it may be best to store the permission logic in a separate model, let's call it Permission. It is easy to use the database records when defining abilities.
-
-For example, let's assume that each user has_many :permissions, and each permission has "action", "object_type" and "object_id" columns. The last of which is optional.
-
-  class Ability
-    include CanCan::Ability
-  
-    def initialize(user)
-      can :manage, :all do |action, object_class, object|
-        user.permissions.find_all_by_action(action).any? do |permission|
-          permission.object_type == object_class.to_s &&
-            (object.nil? || permission.object_id.nil? || permission.object_id == object.id)
-        end
-      end
-    end
-  end
-
-An alternatie approach is to define a separate "can" ability for each permission.
-
-  def initialize(user)
-		user.permissions.each do |permission|
-		  can permission.action, permission.object_type.constantize do |object|
-		    object.nil? || permission.object_id.nil? || permission.object_id == object.id
-		  end
-		end
-	end
-
-The actual details will depend largely on your application requirements, but hopefully you can see how it's possible to define permissions in the database and use them with CanCan.
-

 == Testing Abilities
 
 It is very easy to test the Ability model since you can call "can?" directly on it as you would in the view or controller.
 
-def test "user can only destroy projects which he owns"
-  user = User.new
-  ability = Ability.new(user)
-  assert ability.can?(:destroy, Project.new(:user => user))
-  assert ability.cannot?(:destroy, Project.new)
-end
+  def test "user can only destroy projects which he owns"
+    user = User.new
+    ability = Ability.new(user)
+    assert ability.can?(:destroy, Project.new(:user => user))
+    assert ability.cannot?(:destroy, Project.new)
+  end
