ActiveModel::ForbiddenAttributesError when creating new user

Question

I have this model in Ruby but it throws a ActiveModel::ForbiddenAttributesError

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  attr_accessor :password
  v         


        

Answer 1

If using ActiveAdmin don't forget that there is also a permit_params in the model register block:

ActiveAdmin.register Api::V1::Person do
  permit_params :name, :address, :etc
end

These need to be set along with those in the controller:

def api_v1_person_params
  params.require(:api_v1_person).permit(:name, :address, :etc)
end

Otherwise you will get the error:

ActiveModel::ForbiddenAttributesError
