Rails: Using Devise with single table inheritance

Question

I am having a problem getting Devise to work the way I\'d like with single table inheritance.

I have two different types of account organised as follows:

<         


        

Answer 1

I don't think this is possible without overriding the sessions controller. Each sign_in page has a specific scope that devise will authenticate against as defined by your routes.

It may be possible to use the same sign_in page for multiple user scopes by using the devise_scope function in your routes file to force both :users and :companies to use the same sign in page (a how-to can be found here), but I'm pretty certain that you would have to modify your sessions controller to do some custom logic in order to determine which type of user is signing in.
