    Add this to your db/seed.rb file:

    Account.transaction do 
  [
    ["Albert", "albert@abc.com", "123456", "ABC Company"],
    ["Betty",  "betty@abc.com", "234567", "ABC Company"]
  ].each do |record|
    company = find_or_create_by_company_name(record[3])
    company.users.create(:user_name => record[0].downcase, 
                         :email     => record[1], 
                         :password  => record[2])
  end
end

    Run the following rake task:

    rake db:seed
