Hi Colin,
Thanks for the pointers, in the mean time i got a work around on the
lines you mentioned.
Since it is HABTM relationship it is fetching array of accounts.
e.g.
def index
@user = User.find(current_user)
@account = current_user.account
@account.each do |a|
@ac_id = a.id
end
end
And i am able to use the @ac_id, but i am sure this not the clever way
to do this.
In the current specs i have 1 admin_user for 1 one account and this
account can have multiple users.
but this HABTM provision is made for future in which any of the sub
user of an existing account should be able to extend it to a owner
account.
I shall post any update..
Thanks,
Sachin
