Question

I use devise for authentication and only an admin can create a user.

I use cancan to assign roles to the user during user creation.

I want the admin to view all the users roles and the admin should be able to edit the roles of the users.

How can I do this?

Answer 1

Check out https://github.com/marklocklear/devise_multi_tentant. In ability.rb I have…

class Ability
  include CanCan::Ability

  def initialize(user)
    can :manage, :all if user.role == "admin"
  end
end
