Indicate the reason for denial of access using CanCan

Question

I really like the Rails authorization gem CanCan . However, I found that I have several conditions for certain privileges, and I would like to be able to send various error messages to the user, depending on why he or she was denied access.

Does CanCan have a mechanism for this behavior? I have problems finding. Should I fork out and add this behavior myself?

Answer 1

I don’t think you can do it with CanCan right out of the box. It really makes it possible to say whether the user can or cannot do something.
