+
+ # 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
+ # admin ? admin_accessible_attributes : super
+ # end
+ #
+ # end
+ #
+ 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.

+ #
+ # This is the opposite of the +attr_protected+ macro: Mass-assignment
+ # 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
+ # default and restrict attributes as needed, have a look at
