Thanks :)
I am well aware of the difference between "authentication" and
"authorization" (plus which gems/plugins belong to each of the these
two "categories", just haven't looked into them all..)
In case I made a mistake in previous email with this terminology I
apologise and at least in this case - it was just a mistake and not a
lack of understanding.
Still - thanks for making sure and trying to help :)
