Hi
I have a organizations table and employess table. From the employee one
employee will e administering the whole organizations That means
creating other staff and what ever the activities etc. My question is
how can I implement the table structure and set relation for
organizations and employees table I started like
organizations has_many employees
employee belongs_to organization
But how should I represent an employee of organization who is the
administrator
Thanks
Tom

Are you modelling a business role or a system role (and/or are they the same thing?). Are there other roles you may need to model as this would potentially change the way you implement the behaviour i.e. the introduction of a roles model. PS I found that a good guide to associations which helped me was http://guides.rubyonrails.org/association_basics.html -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Hi Jon Cox Thanks for your reply. My idea is to create a saas based application which has the initial signup procedure in basecamp like https://signup.37signals.com/basecamp/Basic/signup/new?source=signin-screen&__utma=1.193660493.1263811484.1263811484.1264389803.2&__utmb=1.10.10.1264389803&__utmc=1&__utmx=-&__utmz=1.1263811487.1.2.utmcsr=google|utmccn=(organic)|utmcmd=organic|utmctr=basecamp&__utmv=-&__utmk=101930241 So as a first step I tried to design tables organizations and employees as above and putting organization_owner_id in in organization table .Please correct me if I am wrong Thanks Tom -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Things like administrators, project managers, project leads, project members etc. I presume that a user could have more than one role as well? This lends itself to a structure to link your users to roles (or say employees to orangisation_roles) perhaps along the lines of: class Employee < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :employee_roles has_many :roles, :through => :employee_roles end class Role < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :employee_roles has_many :employees, :through => :employee_roles end class EmployeeRole < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :role belongs_to :employee end One of the roles could be the organisation owner as per your initial requirement. Again - i''d recommend reading the guide on assosiations (http://guides.rubyonrails.org/association_basics.html). more importantly though is to have a clear design to build against. I''ve recently been looking into Behaviour Driven Design (BDD) and it''s already changing the way i''m approaching my work. Work through the behaviours you need your app to deliver before you work on a solution :) -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
