How can I test CanCan in the console?
I need to check :read? on an object in the console, how can I do this?
You need to setup Ability object:
ability = Ability.new(current_user_object)
Now you check authorization:
ability.can? :read, object_to_be_checked
current_user_object: User object for which you want to check authorization
object_to_be_checked: is object on which you want to check authorization
