I have always used Cancan until now ( w Devise) , but I need to set user roles for specific object instances
user as superman, administrator (generic)
user as administrator of Academy instance
user as member of Academy instance
user as administrator of Blog instance
user as publisher of Blog instance
...
this is possible w acl9 , but not available for Rails3...
is there any way to handle such cases using Cancan ? if not what could be the alternative ( simplest) ?

thanks for your feedback
