Authorization

Authorization can be added using the authorize_with method. If you pass a block it will be triggered through a before_action on every action in Rails Admin.

For example:

RailsAdmin.config do |config|
  config.authorize_with do
    redirect_to main_app.root_path unless current_user.is_admin?
  end
end

To use an authorization adapter, pass the name of the adapter. For example, to use with CanCanCan, pass it like this.

RailsAdmin.config do |config|
  config.authorize_with :cancancan
end

Also, there's built-in support for Pundit:

RailsAdmin.config do |config|
  config.authorize_with :pundit
end

• CanCanCan (recommended)
• CanCan with relation to current Model
• Declarative Authorization (possible)
• Manually
