    # Mass assignment security provides an interface for protecting attributes
    # from end-user assignment. For more complex permissions, mass assignment security
    # may be handled outside the model by extending a non-ActiveRecord class,
    # such as a controller, with this behavior.
    #
    # For example, a logged in user may need to assign additional attributes depending
    # on their role:
    #
    #   class AccountsController < ApplicationController
    #     include ActiveModel::MassAssignmentSecurity
    #
    #     attr_accessible :first_name, :last_name
    #
    #     def self.admin_accessible_attributes
    #       accessible_attributes + [ :plan_id ]
    #     end
    #
    #     def update
    #       ...
    #       @account.update_attributes(account_params)
    #       ...
    #     end
    #
    #     protected
    #
    #     def account_params
    #       sanitize_for_mass_assignment(params[:account])
    #     end
    #
    #     def mass_assignment_authorizer

    module ClassMethods
      # Attributes named in this macro are protected from mass-assignment
      # whenever attributes are sanitized before assignment.
      #
      # Mass-assignment to these attributes will simply be ignored, to assign
      # to them you can use direct writer methods. This is meant to protect
      # sensitive attributes from being overwritten by malicious users
      # tampering with URLs or forms.
      #
      # == Example
      #
      #   class Customer
      #     include ActiveModel::MassAssignmentSecurity
      #
      #     attr_accessor :name, :credit_rating
      #     attr_protected :credit_rating
      #
      #     def attributes=(values)
      #       sanitize_for_mass_assignment(values).each do |k, v|
      #         send("#{k}=", v)
      #       end
      #     end
      #   end
      #
      #   customer = Customer.new
      #   customer.attributes = { "name" => "David", "credit_rating" => "Excellent" }
      #   customer.name          # => "David"
      #   customer.credit_rating # => nil
      #
      #   customer.credit_rating = "Average"
      #   customer.credit_rating # => "Average"
      #
      # To start from an all-closed default and enable attributes as needed,
      # have a look at +attr_accessible+.
      #
      # Note that using <tt>Hash#except</tt> or <tt>Hash#slice</tt> in place of +attr_protected+
      # to sanitize attributes won't provide sufficient protection.

      # will only set attributes in this list, to assign to the rest of
      # attributes you can use direct writer methods. This is meant to protect
      # sensitive attributes from being overwritten by malicious users
      # tampering with URLs or forms. If you'd rather start from an all-open
