In the app I am working with here are the User models...

class User < ActiveRecord::Base   
  has_and_belongs_to_many :roles 
end

class Athlete < User 
end

class HighSchoolCoach < User 
end

A user can have a role of SchoolAdmin which grants them access to an admin dashboard of administering Athletes. The STI of HighSchoolCoach is a user type that has other kinds of features along with giving them access to a dashboard of athletes that they coach. Now, I am trying to build it so that a User with a role of SchoolAdmin can also be assigned as a HighSchoolCoach, just not sure how to do it..

Any help is greatly appreciated!

do you have to use habtm? Much prefer has_many though – timpone Oct 02 '13 at 23:38
I suppose I don't have too, I can always change it out. Good thing about Rails, those kinds of things are simple :) – dennismonsewicz Oct 03 '13 at 15:21
