It is almost always a bad idea to have have separate tables for different user types. Just use an authorisation gem such as pundit to allow different users to have different capabilities. That you have to ask the question about how join models work suggests you are a beginner at rails. Before going further I suggest you work right through a good tutorial such as railstutorial.org (which is free to use online) so that you understand the basics of rails. Also have a look at the Rails Guides. Colin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
