Delegating Permissions in Pundit:

I encountered a scenario where I needed to retrieve the scope of one policy and use it within another policy. Specifically, I wanted to delegate permissions from one policy to another.

To address this issue, I learned to use Pundit's methods for manually retrieving policies and scopes: • Retrieving a Policy

Pundit.policy(user, record)  # Returns nil if the policy does not exist
Pundit.policy!(user, record) # Raises an exception if the policy does not exist

• Retrieving a Policy Scope:

Pundit.policy_scope(user, ModelClass)  # Returns nil if the policy scope does not exist
Pundit.policy_scope!(user, ModelClass) # Raises an exception if the policy scope does not exist

These methods allowed me to delegate permissions effectively by retrieving and applying the appropriate scopes and policies
