I currently have two models, "User" and "Report".  I want to find out the best way of restricting reports from certain user groups.

Given the following three groups...
  • General Manager
  • Store Manager
  • Employee
I would like to restrict the users from seeing certain reports.
  • General Manager can see all reports - no restrictions
  • Store Manager can see their reports and all employee reports
  • Employee can see only their own reports
I've currently been restricting access by basically "if" statements in the partials, but it seems like only a matter of time before one of these fails (by my own logic).  So the idea came to me to try and set the "default_scope" based on what role the user has...  To my knowledge it doesn't work this way though.  What would be the equivalent of this though?  Or is there a better idea?  Thanks!
