admin user / devise

[Joe Guerra]

I know there is a current_user method for devise, but how do you check if the user is admin?  (I've got a user flagged as admin).

I have a admin menu that I'd like to enable / disable when admin is logged in.

Thanks,

Joe

Do you mean that you have a column in users table named admin which is
true or false? if so then just test current_user.admin

Yes, lol.  That easy.  I'll try it.

Is it a boolean column?

We wind up setting @user = current_user, and then checking 

if @user.admin  

#current_user.admin should work just as well if you don’t need to hang on to the actual signed in user.

…

end

Otherwise, 

@user.<column_name> == “admin”   #(or whatever you use)

cheers,

Bill
