Devise 2.1 + Backbone.js 0.9.2 + Rails 3.2.0
I'm trying to create a webapp using Backbone.js 0.9.2 + Rails 3.2.0. I'm having trouble figuring how to link authentication & authorization (role management) with the app. I'd like to use as much off-the-shelf product as possible.

After some research, I think Devise is pretty nice for user management, but I don't see any tutorials on Devise + Backbone.js. Does anyone have suggestions? 

Also, I keep hearing about CanCan. Do I need it if I'm going to use Devise? Are there other options?

Cheers,
Dean
