I guess there isn't much information on this, but you might want to look at well written source code for inspiration.
>From my experience (which isn't much), your routing table should look something like: map.resources :shops, :has_many => [:products], :shallow => true map.resources :products, :controller => "manage_products" This means that you will have 3 controllers; one for shops and two for products. One product controller will be used for showing and will be accessed as a nested resource of shops. The other will act as a stand alone resource, but will be password protected. This may not be the best design for your needs, but I hope you can improve on it.
