I have Devise working. I have roles for users working. I even added custom fields to the User model and it seems that now everything is working fine. So people can now subscribe using the Sign Up form provided by Devise. But now I need Admins, to add users. Of course, I can''t use the Sign Up form for that. If I just use a regular User model, their passwords are blank. Or maybe the form won''t even work because it will try to use the Registration Controller instead of the User controller (been there, done that), so it won''t work. This is the general idea of what I''m looking for. This is my objective. -------------------------------------------------------- Admin creates a User. App sends Invitation Email to new User. User clicks on link provided in the email. Links takes new User to a webpage where he pick his password. User can now login to the app. -------------------------------------------------------- I''ve been reading several articles online but I can''t find exactly what I''m looking for. http://craiccomputing.blogspot.com/2011/02/rails-devise-and-custom-user-models.html http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4491884/rails-devise-two-different-methods-for-new-users Can anybody point me to the right direction? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Wouldn''t be easier to just create the authentication from scratch?

It depends. Devise is a well-tested and powerful authentication solution. You need to decide if it''s overkill or not for what you are trying to achieve. Regarding invitations, do you know: https://github.com/scambra/devise_invitable ? looks like it does what you want..

I think I''ve done something simple like this to arbitrarily create a
user with Devise:
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
def self.create_new_user(email, password)
user = User.new({ :email => email, :password => password })
return user.save
end
end
That does require the admin to choose a password. I have an algorithm
to create a random 10-character string that I mail to the user with
the invite. The user can change that if they want.
