    # 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
    #     attr_accessible :first_name, :last_name, :plan_id, :as => :admin
    #
    #     def update
    #       ...
    #       @account.update_attributes(account_params)
    #       ...
    #     end
    #
    #     protected
    #
    #     def account_params
    #       role = admin ? :admin : :default
    #       sanitize_for_mass_assignment(params[:account], role)
    #     end
    #

    # = Configuration options
    #
    # * <tt>mass_assignment_sanitizer</tt> - Defines sanitize method. Possible values are:
    #   * <tt>:logger</tt> (default) - writes filtered attributes to logger
    #   * <tt>:strict</tt> - raise <tt>ActiveModel::MassAssignmentSecurity::Error</tt> on any protected attribute update
    #
    # You can specify your own sanitizer object eg. MySanitizer.new.
    # See <tt>ActiveModel::MassAssignmentSecurity::LoggerSanitizer</tt> for example implementation.

    module ClassMethods
      # Attributes named in this macro are protected from mass-assignment
      # whenever attributes are sanitized before assignment. A role for the
      # attributes is optional, if no role is provided then :default is used.
      # A role can be defined by using the :as option.
      #
      # 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, :last_login
      #     attr_protected :last_login, :as => :admin
      #
      #     def assign_attributes(values, options = {})
      #       sanitize_for_mass_assignment(values, options[:as]).each do |k, v|
      #         send("#{k}=", v)
      #       end
      #     end
      #   end
      #
      # When using the :default role :
      #
      #   customer = Customer.new
      #   customer.assign_attributes({ "name" => "David", "credit_rating" => "Excellent", :last_login => 1.day.ago }, :as => :default)
      #   customer.name          # => "David"
      #   customer.credit_rating # => nil
      #   customer.last_login    # => nil
      #
      #   customer.credit_rating = "Average"
      #   customer.credit_rating # => "Average"
      #
