This is my code for my index.html.erb scaffold as you can see the if else stops a user to "show, edit or destroy" the entries. However, they can create a new Rota entry by clicking New Rotum. I can get rid of the admin part in Show, edit, destroy and everyone will be able to do everything. But I want a user to be able to only show edit destroy their OWN entry and not everyone elses too because that is what happens when I authenticate a user to do this? <h1>Listing rota</h1> <table id = "tabletest"> <thead> <tr> <th>Name</th> <th>Mobile</th> <th>Email</th> <th>Category</th> <th>Other</th> <th colspan="3"></th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <% @rota.each do |rotum| %> <tr> <td><%= rotum.name %></td> <td><%= rotum.mobile %></td> <td><%= rotum.email %></td> <td><%= rotum.category %></td> <td><%= rotum.other %></td> <% if current_user.try(:admin?) %> <td><%= link_to 'Show', rotum %></td> <td><%= link_to 'Edit', edit_rotum_path(rotum) %></td> <td><%= link_to 'Destroy', rotum, method: :delete, data: { confirm: 'Are you sure?' } %></td> </tr> <% end %> <% end %> </tbody> </table> <br> <% if user_session %> <%= link_to 'New Rotum', new_rotum_path %> <% end %> -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
