Devise/CanCanCan - Allow Admin To Create New Users

问题

I'm using rails 4.0.2, devise and cancancan. I'm trying to allow an admin to create new users. Admin users are assigned with a boolean field in the users table.

In ability.rb I have the following:

can :manage, :all if user.admin?

Following some of the advise in this question I created a new controller called AdminsController and it looks like so:

class AdminsController < Devise::RegistrationsController
      def create
        build_resource(sign_up_params)
        if resource.save
          redirect_to admin_editors_path
        else
          clean_up_passwords resource
          respond_with resource
        end
      end

      def new
        build_resource({})
      end
end

I've tried to configure the routes as well:

  devise_for :users, :skip => [:registrations]
  as :user do
    get 'user/admin' => 'admins#new'
    post 'user/admin' => 'admins#create'
    get 'users/edit' => 'devise/registrations#edit', :as => :edit_user_registration
    post 'users/' => 'devise/registrations#create', :as => :user_registration
    get 'users/cancel' => 'devise/registrations#cancel', :as => :cancel_user_registration
  end

In devise/registrations/edit.html I'm trying to add a link to allow the user to create a new user like so:

<%= link_to "Create User", user_admin_path %>

The problem is that that link just redirects me to the home page with the message

You are already signed in.

I'm not really sure what I'm getting wrong here so any help at all would be much appreciated.

回答1:

The build_resource method in the Devise::RegistrationsController( on github ),

def build_resource(hash=nil)
  self.resource = resource_class.new_with_session(hash || {}, session)
end

builds a new resource by based the session. The user in the session (in this case) are the admin and are signed in.

You want to create a new User based on a new user instance of the user class, not based on a session.

Something like this should work.

class AdminsController < ApplicationController
 def new_user
  authorize! :manage, User
   @user = Users.new
 end
 def create_user
    @user = User.new(permitted_params.user)
    authorize! :manage, User
    if @user.save
     #success
    else
     #error
    end

 end
end

routes.rb

get "admins/new_user" => "admins#new_user", as: :admins_new_user
post "admins/create_user/:id" = "admins/create_user", as: :admins_create_user

link to new user

<%= link_to "Create User", admins_new_user_path %>

Form

  <%= form_for(@user, :url => admins_create_user_path) do |f| %>
  #fields and submit
  <% end %>

permitted_params.user is a method in a PermittedParams class, and it might be handy for you.

By passing current_user into the method you can allow different parameter for different users.

models/permitted_params.rb

class PermittedParams < Struct.new(:params, :current_user)
  def user
    params.require(:user).permit(*user_attributes)
  end
  def user_attributes
    if current_user.admin?
      [:name, :email,:password, :password_confirmation, :role ,:admin]
    else
      [ :name, :email, :remember_me,:password, :password_confirmation, ]
    end
  end
end
