Devise admin role

[Escéptico]

Hi,

I just started using rails_admin and I'm liking a lot.

I have set an admin role in devise as stated in
https://github.com/plataformatec/devise/wiki/How-To:-Add-an-Admin-role

Is there a way to use this to authenticate in rails_admin? I just want
users who have the admin role attribute set to true to be able to
access rails admin.

Thanks
Sebastián

Hello Escéptico!

Permissions is easy to implement with CanCan. See how here: https://github.com/sferik/rails_admin/wiki/CanCan

Hi Erik,

CanCan looks nice, but I'm already using Devise for other things in my
app, and I don't need all the different permissions, just that if the
user is admin he can access rails_admin.

I'm still gonna look into it while I try to find if it's possible with
devise.

Thanks

CanCan is not a Devise replacement. You combine it with Devise to handle authorization. Check out the link I sent again. :)

hi,

in <your_app>/config/initializers/rails_admin.rb

put:

RailsAdmin.authorize_with do
redirect_to root_path unless current_user.try(:admin?)
end

assume you have 'admin' boolean in your 'user' model

with best regards,
Dmitry
