I am sure i have configured the plugin well,but not know how to use it  
properly.  
first: set role using has\_role or accept role method.  
second:permit or permit? methods is used to check or set role?  
I think they are used for checking,if true for a specific role,run the  
codes in the block of the method,if not,redirect to access denied  
page,right? If what i think is right,what is has\_role? method?  
The rails-authorization-plugin doc does not show themselves very  
clear and there is not tutorial by google.

Three hours is not really long enough to wait, a third of the world is  
asleep and another third is working. Most of the rest don’t know what  
RoR is which leaves us with me apparently, and I don’t know the  
answer. With a little patience someone who does know the answer may  
come along.
