About user_role =[:admin, :student]

[emclab]

Hi I have been puzzled with a question about where and how you can define a user as :admin or :student. It may be obvious. But I just did not find where it is. Thanks.

Hello, I currently use "declarative authorization" gem. One of the main characteristics of this gem is that all my users have different roles. As such, it has a function called role_symbols which returns an array of symbols for the user in question. For example:
myuser.role_symbols
would return
[:admin, :student, :student_delegate]

I hope this clears the issue, thanks for your interest!
