[Rails] Re: Noob looking for an approach to Memberships in Rails

I share your pain.  The rails community seems to be mostly satisfied with role-based access control.  However I needed a process whereby I could do group-membership-based access control.  In my project, content (Posts, Uploads, Comments, etc.) needed to be protected on  a group basis.  After much searching I found a way using the CanCan gem and its "hash of conditions" capability.  I described the solution in an answer to my own stack overflow question:  http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8370654/what-are-the-options-for-group-membership-based-access-control-in-rails  

I've proven this approach in initial testing.  Have yet to push it into scale testing or production, but CanCan seems to be a well-used gem.  Hope this helps.
