initialize method to set up stuff for htat model before doing anything with it

first step is to inspect routes to limit user functionality
each of hte routes if you allow, determine who is allowed

next, don’t show people things they shouldn’t see
use conditional statements to hide things they shouldn’t see
in the view templates

define a before action to help minimize redundant code

raise exception rather than redirect_back when theres an error
