  # as permitted and limit which attributes should be allowed for mass updating.

  # It provides two options that controls the top-level behavior of new instances:
  #
  # * +permit_all_parameters+ - If it's +true+, all the parameters will be
  #   permitted by default. The default is +false+.
  # * +action_on_unpermitted_parameters+ - Allow to control the behavior when parameters
  #   that are not explicitly permitted are found. The values can be +false+ to just filter them
  #   out, <tt>:log</tt> to additionally write a message on the logger, or <tt>:raise</tt> to raise
  #   ActionController::UnpermittedParameters exception. The default value is <tt>:log</tt>
  #   in test and development environments, +false+ otherwise.
  #
  # Examples:
  #
  #   params = ActionController::Parameters.new
  #   params.permitted? # => false

  #   ActionController::Parameters.permit_all_parameters = true
  #
  #   params = ActionController::Parameters.new

  # predefined raise/rescue flow to end up as a <tt>400 Bad Request</tt> with no
