+# Allowy (Internalized Copy)
+
+This directory contains an internalized copy of the archived allowy authorization library:
+https://github.com/dnagir/allowy
+
+**License:** MIT License
+**Copyright:** (c) 2014 Dmytrii Nagirniak
+**Inlined version:** 2.1.0
+**Source commit:** `5d2c6f09a9617a2ad097a3b11ecabb32d48ff80b` (2015-01-06)
+**Upstream status:** Archived (last commit: 2015-01-06)
+
+The upstream LICENSE file is included in this directory.
+
+## Why Inlined
+
+- The upstream repository was archived with no updates since 2015
+- Removes external gem dependency
+- CCNG only uses a subset of allowy functionality (AccessControl, Context, Registry)
+
+## Changes from Upstream
+
+**Files included:** `access_control.rb`, `context.rb`, `registry.rb` (with RuboCop fixes applied)
+
+**Files skipped (not used by CCNG):**
+- `controller_extensions.rb` - Rails helper_method integration
+- `matchers.rb` and `rspec.rb` - RSpec `be_able_to` matcher (CCNG uses its own `allow_op_on_object`)
+- `version.rb` - version constant
+
+## Usage in CCNG
+
+Allowy is used **only by the V2 API** for authorization. This code can be removed together with the V2 API removal.
+
+Note: If `/v2/info` endpoint is kept after V2 removal, `InfoController` should be refactored to not extend `RestController::BaseController` first.
+
+The V3 API uses a different authorization system (`VCAP::CloudController::Permissions`).
+
+## Tests
+
+```bash
+bundle exec rspec spec/unit/lib/allowy/
+```

+module Allowy
+  # This module provides the interface for implementing the access control actions.
+  # In order to use it, mix it into a plain Ruby class and define methods ending with `?`.
+  #
+  # @example
+  #   class PageAccess
+  #     include Allowy::AccessControl
+  #
+  #     def view?(page)
+  #       page and page.wiki? and context.user_signed_in?
+  #     end
+  #   end
+  #
+  # And then you can check the permissions from a controller:
+  #
+  # @example
+  #   def show
+  #     @page = Page.find params[:id]
+  #     authorize! :view, @page
+  #   end
+  #
+  module AccessControl
+    extend ActiveSupport::Concern
