Ruby on Rails

Hey,

First of all - @Brian - I apologise for double sending this to you..
since can only reply to author, now Cc-ing the group email as well..

Ok, question as follows:
I'm using Restful_Authentication plugin (generated authenticated user
sessions with --include-activation and --aasm) and the
Declarative_Authorization plugin..

I'm quite a beginner, so my question might be very basic..
wanted to know if there's a way to authorize AASM's trasitions?
To begin with, how should I handle authorization for the state
transitions (or aasm_event s) of AasmRoles of User
(:active, :passive, :pending, :suspended, :unsuspended, :deleted)? and
where should this be done exactly?

Thank you :)

tino.
