Authenticating User actions with Omniauth

I am using Twitter Omniauth and would like to set up before_actions in my controllers to authenticate user actions and restrict users form editing, updating, and deleting other user posts just like devise authenticate_user! method allows. How can I define this in omniauth since it is not built in?

This is an example, you can adapt to your needs.

In your ApplicationController :

def require_signin!
 if current_user.nil?
  flash[:error] = "Please sign in..."
  redirect_to signin_url
 end
end
helper_method :require_signin!

def current_user
  @current_user ||= User.find(session[:user_id]) if session[:user_id]
end
helper_method :current_user

And use require_signin! like you use authenticate_user!.
