There is also the :on option for validations. With combining :on with :if you could essentially set up several validations that are triggered by the specific pages.
One validation to ensure presence_of :name, :email and :password :on => :create One validation to ensure presence_of :name :on => :update, :if => :email_and_password_are_not_being_updated One validation to ensure presence_of :email :on => :update, :if => :name_and_password_are_not_being_updated One validation to ensure presence_of :password :on => :update, :if => :email_and_name_are_not_being_updated You would have to write the methods for each :if option to inspect the attribute updates being sent by the form and other validations might be necessary if you have another page to allow edits for all three attributes. Hope this helps.
