Devise with many models

Oops! :slight_smile: Have been looking like crazy for tutorials on STI (Single Table Inheritance) and polymorphic associations to devise and use with many models. I'm in trouble here, I have three models ('admin.rb', 'pesquisador.rb' and 'bolsista.rb'), the typical case of teacher, student and administrator.. But the devise works only with a model, usually 'user.rb' as shown in many tutorials.. What I wonder is how can I relate the models so I can create a generic model 'usuario.rb'and use the devise, having an interface with administrative privileges ..

Thanks in advance! :smiley:

I would suggest that you should be considering using the concept of Roles, so they are all users, with different roles. Google for Rails Roles and you will get many hits. You might like to look at Cancan also.
