Execution modes

Permits can be configured to be executed in one or more execution modes. The built in modes are:

• cache
• no_cache

The #modes macro is used to indicate which modes the Permit is executed for. By default, a Permit will be executed for all execution modes.

The following Editor Role Permit will only be executed for the :no_cache mode.

module Permit::Admin::Role
  class Editor < CanTango::Permit::Role
    def calc_rules
      can :edit, Post if session[:edit_mode]
    end

    modes :no_cache
  end
end

Custom permit definition

The following code sets up a Permit with a specific namespace (scope) :admin

class AdminAccount < ActiveRecord::Base
  class EditorRolePermit < CanTango::Permit::Role
	tango_permit  :name => :editor, :type => :role, :ns => :admin

	def calc_rules
	  can :edit, Post if session[:edit_mode]
	end

	modes :no_cache
  end
end

Here the tango_permit macro is used to explicitly configure the Permit with the CanTango Permits system (registry).
