I think the issue here is the approach.Firstly ElementType would have to be Roles not an int if this were what you're trying to do. Secondly, I'm not sure you really are accomplishing what you want with that class structure. >From a SQL perspective you'd have to have a "PersonDetail" table or "Roles For Person" table.example:
id | personid | Role | 1 | 2 | Administrator (could also just be a 1 or 2 depending on your preference) 1 | 2 | User Then when you query you'd ask for "Person 2's Roles". Ultimate your issue is a SQL schema issue as opposed to how ActiveRecord works or doesnt.
