ActiveAdmin role for mass assignment

Question

In my models I have defined different roles for mass assignment. Some fields are attr_accessible :as => :default. Other fields are attr_accessible :as => [:default, :admin].

How can I allow ActiveAdmin to be able to update attributes as an admin role?

You can use the with_role options for ActiveAdmin controllers. For example:

# app/admin/users.rb
ActiveAdmin.register User do
  controller { with_role :admin }
end

+1, but it's better to put it into an initializer (`config/initializers/active_admin.rb`) – KARASZI István Oct 25 '12 at 15:41
@KARASZIIstván could you elaborate on your comment? I've got it working at the /admin/(model) level, but cannot get it working in the initializer. Thanks! – Dave Collins Jan 21 '13 at 23:25

As Venkat said in the other answer you can do that with the with_role option. But it's a better idea IMHO to insert it in config/initializers/active_admin.rb instead of in every controller:

module ActiveAdmin
  ResourceController.class_eval do
    with_role :admin
  end
end
