Question

I have built a small ruby webservice, in this I have implemented cancan authorization.

I followed this tutorial. The problem is that, I can’t find out the way to assign at the user, when they do the registration to my site, the base role level.

I find out to do this with a checkbox, but it’s not what I want. My idea was to put this assignment directly into the registrations_controller, but I failed to save the role.

I hope that somebody can help me.

Thank you.

This is what worked for me

user.rb:

  after_create :default_role

  private
  def default_role
    self.roles << Role.where(:name => 'User').first
  end
