Rails, Devise. Disallow User actions unless AdminUser -

i have user model created devise, type:string attribute , adminuser model (adminuser < user).

in application controller defined :require_admin method:

  def require_admin     unless current_user == adminuser       flash[:error] = "you not admin"       redirect_to store_index_path     end   end 

on products controller set

before_action :require_admin, except: :show 

now create adminuser via console (with adminuser id) , when log in app, still can not use actions (create, edit etc.).

any ideas?

with

current_user == adminuser 

you check whether current_user object is equal adminuser class.

what want instead check whether current_user's class adminuser:

current_user.class == adminuser # or current_user.is_a?(adminuser) # or current_user.kind_of?(adminuser) # or current_user.instance_of?(adminuser) # or adminuser === current_user
