without_access_control is not available in controllers

[cthielen]

The without_access_control block is safer than Authorization.ignore_access_control as it implicitly turns the rules back on at the end of the block. Why is this not available in controllers?

[urkle]

it's not available anywhere by default.. you have to explicitly include the maintenance file require 'declarative_authorization/maintenance'
then use Authorization::Maintenance::without_access_control (or include the module in the controller)

What is your use case for needing to do this in a controller?
