Better way to phrase the question... Given the model above, Knowing the project_id and user_id, how in Rails using activemodel can you query to obtain the user's role if any,,, meaning return admin or nil
I'm trying things like in the users.rb: logger.debug self.permissions.find_by_project_id(1) But that doesn't give back a role... Tricky stuff!!!
