Hi,

I want to create a ruby on rails application that has user login and  
user  
role.  
What is a good plugin to use?

Thanks for your response in advance.

hi yudi

acl9 plug-in will help you for role based user authentication

git url for the plug-in [GitHub - be9/acl9: Yet another role-based authorization system for Rails](http://github.com/be9/acl9)

thanks

Thanks for your reply

I read from [GitHub - be9/acl9: Yet another role-based authorization system for Rails](http://github.com/be9/acl9#readme) and it said that Acl9 is a  
authorization solution, so you will need to implement authentication by  
other means.

I need authentication plugins too. So what is the better one?

Thanks,  
Yudi S.

I believe authlogic is generally considered the better solution  
currently.
