similar to: how to assign edit/remove privileges for only own details and not on others?

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

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.

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

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? At first blush, I''d think that an ordinary user (e.g. with id 565) should see something like: http://example.com/mystuff.html ... where the controller assumes

I have been trying for a few days to set up a basic user registration/ login system with rails 3 and nearly every single piece of documentation is outdated. Restful_authentication has several git branches, none of which appear to result in a working installation. All of them leave me with "could not find generator authenticated". With Devise: "could not find generator devise"

Right now in my view, I have a whole HUGE clump of <% if current_user %> and then <% if current_admin %> and then <% if current_teacher %> and then all that other stuff in my view. I have a ginourmous chunk of if and else statements in my views... is there a way to make it prettier? The if and else''s almost all have the same functions, expect for some minor changes.

Hi: i''ve tried this on three macs (tiger, panther, etc).. and my ROR is up to date on each. My models and controllers aren''t displaying all my mysql db fields.

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.

My site is using Devise and Cancan. Currently I have 3 roles setup I am testing creating a new user using the following command (role is required): curl -H "Content-Type:application/json" -H "Accept:application/json" - d "{\"user\":{\"email\":\"test01-J0of1frlU80@public.gmane.org\", \"role\":\"2\", \"name\":

I have 2 distinct types of users (artists and curators) in my system and they currently share all associations (eg has_one :portfolio). However, a curator shouldn''t have a portfolio so I would like to only add that association when required. Obviously I could just return nil for that method, but it doesn''t feel right having that there in the first place. What''s the best

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).
