All,

First I migrated away from the login\_engine to the active\_rbac engine  
last summer. I’ve forgotten why, but I don’t remember it being a very  
tramatic process. I suspect it only took an hour or two. At that  
time IIRC the active\_rbac docs were very good.

My question is if the active\_rbac engine should work with the new  
Rails 1.2 core and engine\_plugin?

## Thanks Greg

Hi Greg,

If you don’t get a response here, you might also try posting on the  
ActiveRBAC lists. It shouldn’t be difficult for them to adapt their  
plugin to work with the engines 1.2 release.

Greg,

ActiveRbac in its current state won’t work with Rails 1.2.

They have plans to continue development of ActiveRbac for Rails 1.2…  
(I think somewhat new codebase)… that…doesn’t…use…engines…  
😉

You can try [activeacl.rubyforge.org](http://activeacl.rubyforge.org) 🙂
