Edit admin redirect

Question

Im using Devise + CanCan and would like to redirect to my admin interface (generated by rails admin gem) if it has ADMIN that is logged in.

I configured USER redirect to my profile using the following:

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base protect_from_forgery rescue_from CanCan::AccessDenied do |exception| redirect_to root_path, :alert => exception.message end def after_sign_in_path_for(resource) user_path(current_user) end end 

role.rb

 class Role < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :users, :join_table => :users_roles belongs_to :resource, :polymorphic => true end 

ability.rb

 class Ability include CanCan::Ability def initialize(user) user ||= User.new # guest user (not logged in) if user.has_role? :admin can :manage, :all can :access, :rails_admin can :dashboard end 

user.rb

 class User < ActiveRecord::Base rolify devise :database_authenticatable, :registerable, :recoverable, :rememberable, :trackable, :validatable ..... 

Answer 1

I assume that you have a boolean admin attribute in your user model.

 def after_sign_in_path_for(resource) if current_user.has_role? :admin rails_admin.dashboard_path else user_path(current_user) end end
