ActiveAdmin ACL

I'm new to Ruby on Rails and one of the things that I like is the admin generator bundles like RailsAdmin ActiveAdmin etc. In my next project I'd like to use Ruby on Rails 3 and ActiveAdmin as backend. But I have no idea of how to achieve ACL in ActiveAdmin. Can someone explain or point me in the right direction please?

ActiveAdmin has rather poor support for authorization in my opinion. If you want integrated CanCan then I recommend going with RailsAdmin. It unfortunately is not as customizable as ActivAdmin though.

Active Admin uses the Devise gem for authentication. The Devise team have a wiki on how to use cancan for authorization here https://github.com/plataformatec/devise/wiki/How-To:-Integrate-with-CanCan-for-roles-management
