Assuming you have a current_user method, or something similar- #in users controller before_filter :user_is_current_user def user_is_current_user redirect_to :action => "index" unless current_user.id == params[:id].to_i end Something like that anyway. This will make it so that a user can only be edited, created, updated or viewed by themselves. If you wanted to change it so that admin users could edit others details you could change it like def user_is_current_user redirect_to :action => "index" unless current_user.admin? || current_user.id == params[:id].to_i end -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
