  1. I’m glad I found this, thanks Godwin!

    Few comments/questions:
    – AccessControl was last published in February 2018. Is it still active?
    – I was confused until I realized that “post” was a resource and not a route or http method. It would be less confusing if the example resource was “article” or “video.”
    – At the beginning it states “A user can have multiple roles” but the example with Express contains “ac.can(req.user.role).readAny(‘post’)”. Can req.user.role be an array of roles?
    – There is a JSON typo: ‘read:any’: [‘*’, ‘!id]
