Question

i’m bulding a rails 3 app, i’m using devise for manage the auth logics but i was wonder if there is a helper method to check if the current user owns an object (a record into db) that has an association “has_many”.

example:

User

has_many :reports 

i have this situation:

<%=  current_user.id == report.user.id ? "Personal Report" : report.user.username %>

is possible to create something like:

<%= owned ? "yes" : "no" %>

thanks
