Question

I need to create an admin role using devise for my app. I’ve created basic authentication using devise . I have a devise user model in my app but now i need an admin who can show edit and destroy all the users. I tried following the tutorials but none of them helped.
I am using rails 3.0.10 and ruby 1.9.2-p290.

You just define role.rb first by creating migratioin

      rails g model role  name:string

then in role.rb

      class Role
         has_one:user
      end

And in user model

      class user
         belongs_to :role
      end

Insert two roles into DB

   1.admin
   2.user

Then check by this

    if user.role.name == "admin"  
        # can do all your logic
    else
         your logic
    end

Make sure insert role_id:integer into user model

Try it…….
