So I got CanCan and Devise working well. I have two types of users:
Admins and Nonadmins. Admins can edit all of Nonadmins profiles.
The problem is, every user (either Admin or Nonadmin) belongs to an
Account or Organization. Admins should only be able to edit users from
their own Account or Organization. I was able to do that too.
The problem is, I can''t display the Create New User link. It seems
everything is correct but I must be doing something wrong.
HERE IS ABILITY.RB
---------------------------------------------
if user.role == "admin"
can :read, User do |u|
u.try(:account_id) == user.account_id
end
can :update, User do |u|
u.try(:account_id) == user.account_id
end
can :destroy, User do |u|
u.try(:account_id) == user.account_id
end
can :create, User
---------------------------------------------
HERE IS APP/VIEWS/USERS/INDEX.HTML.ERB
---------------------------------------------
<% if can? :create, @user %>
<div style="clear:both;padding-top:20px;"><%= link_to
''New User'',
new_user_path %></div>
<% end %>
---------------------------------------------

According to the wiki.. https://github.com/ryanb/cancan/wiki/Checking-Abilities I think you may need to change the object that can? is evaluating from the @user variable to the class User like so: <% if can? :create, User %> <div style="clear:both;padding-top:20px;"><%= link_to ''New User'', new_user_path %></div> <% end %> On Thu, Dec 2, 2010 at 9:37 AM, Leonel *.* <lists-fsXkhYbjdPsEEoCn2XhGlw@public.gmane.org> wrote:> Nothing, the New User link it''s just not displaying > > -- > Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group. > To post to this group, send email to rubyonrails-talk-/JYPxA39Uh5TLH3MbocFF+G/Ez6ZCGd0@public.gmane.org > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > rubyonrails-talk+unsubscribe-/JYPxA39Uh5TLH3MbocFFw@public.gmane.org<rubyonrails-talk%2Bunsubscribe-/JYPxA39Uh5TLH3MbocFFw@public.gmane.org> > . > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-talk?hl=en. > >-- _________________________________ Joshua S.

What does *write* do? I have been searching for a list of abilites but haven''t found one. All I see is that they use the 7 RESTful resources. Can you point me to a list of abilities that work with CanCan? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Hmm.. I''m in your same situation. In your code: <% if can? :create, @user %> I believe that @user is nil, so when your Ability.rb try''s to read :account_id, it returns nil, and it is never == user.account_id, thus your link is not displayed. I don''t know if it''s the correcto solution, but I''m adding new abilities. In your case, you could use a create_user ability, and check it against the Account in question. So in Ability.rb: if user.role == "admin" can :create_user, Account do |acc| acc.id == user.account_id end And in your view: link_to "New user", .... if can? :create_user, account # you have to set the account variable somewhere. Note that you don''t have to "create" the :create_user ability. You can just use it. FWIW, these are the only actions included by default in CanCan (no :write!) alias_action :index, :show, :to => :read alias_action :new, :to => :create alias_action :edit, :to => :update -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I wish there were some DSL for this. I''d like to, for example, use this in my view: if can? :create, User :on => @account But I think the example I gave you previously achieves the same functionality.
