user1.roles returns an array of roles.
The array class has a function "include?(obj)" that returns true or
false.
Something like this should work:
user1.roles.include?(Role.find_by_name('admin'))
Named scopes are not ment for stuff like this.
You can create a function on the user model "is_admin?" for the code
above. That way if how an admin is defined changes, you only need to
update the code in one place.
