Rails Cancan NameError - uninitialized constan

Question

Hi, I need your help with cancan.

I have this controler:

class RegistrationsController < Devise::RegistrationsController

I needed because I had to overwrite some methods.

I need to control the access to this controller because the administrator is the only that can add a new user.

How can I use load_and_authorize_resource?

My ability.rb file is: class Ability include CanCan::Ability

def initialize(user, controller_namespace) user ||= Usuario.new

case controller_namespace
  when "Administrator"
    if user.rol == 1    
        can :manage, Faq
        can :manage, Tip
        can :manage, Administrator::HomeTratamientoController
   end
    if user.rol == 2
        can :manage, :admin_vacunas
        can :manage, Registration
    end
  when "paciente"
    if user.rol == 3
        can :manage, Paciente::HomeController
    end
  else  
        can :read, :all
 end 

end

The model is usuario.rb

I don't have problem when the rol is 1 but when is 2, and I put the line:

load_and_authorize_resource

when in the registration controller I call the action new to add a new user by the adminstrator, show me the follow error:

Completed 500 Internal Server Error in 42ms (ActiveRecord: 5.1ms)

Some body can help me please?

Answer 1

You wrote can :manage, Registration, so you need a Registration model.

In your case you should replace it with:

can :create, User

and in the controller you load_and_authorize_resource :user, parent: false

Free tip:

don't write model names in Spanish, but in English, always. So replace Usuario with User.
