Hello I have a rails 3 app and I am trying to implement the redirect back action at access denied for cancan. If I try this in my application_controller: rescue_from CanCan::AccessDenied do |exception| redirect_to :back end It gives the following error: No HTTP_REFERER was set in the request to this action, so redirect_to :back could not be called successfully. If this is a test, make sure

Hi all, I just installed cancan on a new project and found out that it creates some problems with the new scoped mass assignment features of rails 3.2 . Basically, in my User model I create some attr_accessible attributes in order to avoid users to edit their roles or other sensitive information. From the administration I allow admins to edit those protected attributes by passing

Hello! While running bundle exec rake, I receive following error (see in attached file) However, my tests are steel passing with command rspec spec/controllers/ Some info: ads_controller.rb: class AdsController < ApplicationController load_and_authorize_resource except: :create end ads_controller_spec.rb: require ''spec_helper'' describe AdsController do render_views

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

A Redhat 6.0 linux server with Samba 2.0.6, Windows 95/98 clients. By accident I just discovered a surprising and quite disappointing password problem on our Samba network. If a user on our network has a non-empty Windows password, he is forced to supply his password to log in to the network and gain writing privilegies -- as expected. However, if the user has an empty Windows password, he is

Hello all! As far as I know that the traffic that will pass thru the router is balanced so that all connections have the same privilegies. Is it possible to configure the linux based router so that all computers will have the same privilegies? I mean that if in default case full traffic is splitted by connections, so I need to split it by users to prevent one user occupy all traffic by starting

Hello Rails World, does anybody know a good solution for Strong Parameters in a Rails app authorized by Cancan (or a similar authorization gem)? def user_params if current_user.admin? params.require(:user).permit! else params.require(:user).permit(:password, :password_confirmation) end end Now I want to do this the "Cancan way". My first idea looks strange to me: def

I just came across this so I thought I would post it on this board since I see cancan come up a lot. It seems that Ryan Bates (who is primarily responsible for cancan) is taking a hiatus and the gem is no longer being actively maintained. The collaborators on that gem have formed a new team and have released the gem cancancan which is now cancan updated for Rails 4. You read more about it

At the moment, I am running meta_search, and then filtering through CanCan after I have a set of results. Is there any other way to restrict the returned objects within the initial search query? def index @search = User .search :first_name_or_last_name_or_practice_name_or_role_contains_any => params[:search].to_s.split('' '') @users =

Hello. I''ve installed cancan and bigbluebutton_rails, https://github.com/mconf/bigbluebutton_rails.

I''m doing RSpec controller testing with CanCan authorization, and I''m seeing something I''ve never seen in RSpec before: the same test run twice fails on the second one. I am NOT doing before(:all) or other things that should cause state to persist between tests: Here''s the relevant code: context "POST create" do context "with user logged

I have the following scenario. Users have various levels of ability. They can only view and edit their own records (their profile). Their managers can only view and edit their employees records. The regional managers can view and edit only the people in their regions and the corporate headquarters can view and edit all records. There are multiple regions so somebody can be the manager of the

Hello, I have a setup similar to Rweb ( http://www.math.montana.edu/Rweb/ ): I get R scripts from users and need to execute them in in a safe manner (they are executed automatically, without human inspection). I would like to limit the user's script to reading from STDIN and writing to STDOUT/ERR. Specifically, preventing any kind of interaction with the underlying operating system (files,

In an app where ordinary users are limited to viewing and editing their own "stuff", but someone with admin privs can view and edit anybody''s stuff, what''s the right strategy for routing?
