Hello everyone, I need your help, i’m tryng to use active rbac plugin, but i dont understand how to integrate with my application, if someone knows how, please let me know. I use eclipse rad rails to install that plugin but it says that didn’t find that plugin, i download from [http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group\_id=2972](http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=2972) and unzip it in vendor/plugins I create models User, Role and StaticPermission like [http://active-rbac.rubyforge.org/docs/005\_acts\_as\_models.html](http://active-rbac.rubyforge.org/docs/005_acts_as_models.html) says and generate the respective controllers, but in the browser: undefined local variable or method `acts\_as\_user’ for User:Class Please, help! If someone recommend another complete rbac plugin, i will appreciate your help. Sincerely, Mary P.D. Today started Off Road Race “Baja 1000” ---

I use active\_rbac successfully and I really like it. acts\_as\_user is a method that you place in the User model which adds stuff to the User model. If it can’t be found perhaps you forgot to add these lines to your controller/application.rb file… require\_dependency ‘user’ require\_dependency ‘role’ require\_dependency ‘static\_permission’ which is a documented “gotcha”
