Re: [Rails] What is your favourite authentication gem and why?

What's the difference between an Authentication and Authorisation solution?

From what I understand, I can use a column in the users table called level, and have number 5 be an admin like if user.level == 5

CanCan is an Authorization solution, not an Authentication solution. Devise is Authentication only, and relies on CanCan or another Authorization framework to do that part of the job. Apples and Oranges, I'm afraid.
