NAME

Jifty::RightsFrom - Delegate access control to a related object

SYNOPSIS

package Application::Model::Thing;
use Jifty::DBI::Schema;
use Application::Record schema {
  column owner => refers_to Application::Model::Person;
}

use Jifty::RightsFrom column => 'owner';

DESCRIPTION

Provides a delegate_current_user_can method that various task-related objects can use as a base to make their own access control decisions based on their task. "current_user_can" in Jifty::Record uses this method to make an access control decision if it exists.

Note that this means that a model class can use Jifty::RightsFrom, and still have a custom current_user_can method, and they will not interfere with each other.
