Hi Nazar,

You just gotta alias those methods in ability.rb or call the authorize! method in Your custom action.

or custom actions: https://github.com/ryanb/cancan/wiki/custom-actions https://github.com/ryanb/cancan/wiki/Authorizing-Controller-Actions

or non-restfull controllers: https://github.com/ryanb/cancan/wiki/Non-RESTful-Controllers
