hubot-rbac

This script relies on a new Hubot v2.14.0 feature known as 'listener middleware'. It WILL NOT work on older versions of Hubot.

A Hubot script for restricting access to commands through role-based access control (RBAC), and Listener IDs.

Roles are automatically created when policies are added / removed (e.g. when a listener ID is blocked).

Caveats

• Currently, the script can only block listeners IF they have an ID attached to it via their options / metadata;
• Furthermore, the full ID must be specified when creating policies;
• None of the script's commands are blocked by default (i.e. anyone can use it, but they can not use it against a power user).

See src/rbac.coffee for full documentation.
