You can create a macro (/spec/support/controller_macros.rb) and write something like :

module ControllerMacros
  def login_user
    before(:each) do
      @request.env["devise.mapping"] = :user
      @user = Factory(:user)
      sign_in @user
    end
  end
end

You can also include any CanCan attributes you want. Then, in your spec :

describe YourController do
    login_user

    it "should ..." do

    end
