Hey all,  
In my app users can create groups and the group creator can “kick” or  
“ban” users. I want the creator to be able to grant other members of  
the group to kick and ban.  
This is how I want to do it:  
I’m usgin acl\_system2 and the creator can grant kick and ban  
permissions to group members by creating roles “kick\_group\_id” or  
“ban\_group\_id” for those users and then in the view I do:

\<% restrict\_to "(creator | kick\_#{@group.id}) do %\>  
\<%= link\_to “kick this user out of the group”,  
group\_membership(@group,membership),:method=\>‘delete’%\>  
\<% end %\>

is this a good way to deal with this problem or is there a (way)  
better or simpler solution?

Thanx in advance

Pat
