Authlogic and Roles

Question

I am developing an application which users authlogic for authentication.

I would like some way of giving users roles so that I can authorize certain actions to certain roles.

Is there an 'out of the box' gem or plugin that suits this or would I be better build it from scratch.

What would you recommend?

ACL9 is what i currently use for the authorization, authlogic is the best match so i think you will do fine with it.

Check out the following 2 links for instructions.
