Question

We have everything installed correctly, but when an admin goes to /admin_data it throws “not authorized”.

heres the relevant code in config/initializers/admin_data.rb

AdminData.config do |config|
 config.is_allowed_to_view = lambda {|controller| return true if current_user.admin = true }
 config.is_allowed_to_update = lambda {|controller| return true if current_user.admin = true }
end

Answer 1

Could be the condition you’re using to check equality:

if current_user.admin = true #will always be true

vs

if current_user.admin == true #will check the equality of being true

You might consider just:

if current_user.admin

since nil or false will be NOT == true
