Restrict Access to Create Action to Particular User Model?

[David Williams]

I have two user models one for businesses and one for buyers. How would
I be able to restrict the create method only for businesses and allow
the show actions only for buyers?

Have a look at the cancan gem for handling roles.

David, 

Have a look at pundit gem as well. I'd recommend that for simplicity.

On that note, I think cancan is cancancan now?

(https://github.com/ryanb/cancan vs https://github.com/CanCanCommunity/cancancan)

Does anyone know what happened there? I think Ryan Bates took a break or something?

I installed the original cancan. Which is working, but I have the
slightest clue to what's going on with cancancan.

+1 for Pundit.  I prefer it over CanCan these days, especially for your use-case.

Try them both and then use the one that most suits your needs. Anyway
you do not need to uninstall cancan, just remove if from Gemfile and
insert pundit instead (plus making any changes to the code of course).
