See my gist: https://gist.github.com/3040303

It enforces cancan on menus, action items, default_actions in index
tables, and when using AA's auto_link.

There are some issues expressed in the comments to that gist about the initializer raising exceptions on the legacy Dashboard and on Comments controllers, so a few tweaks need to be made.

Also, I'm not sure how you'd like to split up the gist into different files, and since the gist is longer than your entire gem, I figure you can do some copy-paste to add this useful functionality.

I'm quite happy using my initializer and skipping activeadmin-cancan altogether.

hey, the gist is working well. are there any plans to integrate it inside your gem?

[jpmckinney]

No plans currently.

it looks like there is no need for this gem anymore. with activeadmin 0.6.0 you can define cacan as an authorization-adapter http://activeadmin.info/docs/13-authorization-adapter.html#setting_up_your_own_authorizationadapter
