I’m using Mongoid, Devise and Rails 3.1.

I have four models: Students, Teacher, Parents and School (the main account). All them will log in on system. But, I don’t want create four ways to login. I want create an unique login method using anyone this models, but with respectives roles (This is the minor problem, I already can do that with CanCan).

Anybody have a easy solution, without create a programming-hell?

    Actually, people logging on to your system are all Users. So either you choose to let the classesTeacher, Student, Parent, SchoolRepresentative to inherit from User using STI.

    Most of the times I prefer simply that a User has roles. And the role would then be teacher, student ...
    The roles define what a user is allowed to see.

    Hope this helps.
