Subject: Catalyst::Manual::Tutorial::Authorization
Near the end of the tutorial chapter on Authorization are the following sentences: 'Once at the book list, click the "Create" link to try the form_create action. You should receive a red "Unauthorized!" error message at the top of the list. (Note that in reality you would probably want to place the "Create" link code in root/src/books/list.tt2 inside an IF statement that only displays the list to admin-level users.)' However, in the tutorial, list.tt2 DOES include an IF statement preventing non-admins from seeing the Create link. To make this part of the tutorial work correctly as written, you should have the user modify list.tt2. Of course, by this point in the tutorial, the user should be able to see the problem on their own.
fixed, although I don't know if my fix adds or removes clarity.
