I have admins and users sharing the same controller and model Admins have more liberties so users form is different view For new and create actions for example should i write new actions to work with the users form submission or should i put a conditional express in my before_action I had the creative idea that I could use authenticate_user|authenticate_admin for my callback but it seems there’s no such thing but I can use a conditional expression What’s the solution?
In the new and create actions you can test the current user's role (user or admin) and render a different view, or have a common view with conditional code in the view (possibly calling different partials for example), whichever is more appropriate for your particular case.

First I have to authenticate either before I can test for which in the new and create actions
What has authentication got to do with role? Presumably you have a login procedure, then in the action you just have to check that someone is logged in and test for the role of current_user to decide what to show them or whether to allow the create.

I went with adding a subdirectory for users under views Considering doing the same for controllers
