Hello,  
I have put up an example which shows how to use migrations to add  
permissions to  
different roles for the various controllers/actions.

Wow, that looks pretty terrific. It seems like it would be beneficial  
for UserEngine to override the default behavior of rake migrate to have  
it perform a sync\_permissions on start.
