Hi Kapil,

I’m not sure if I understand you correctly but if you’re trying to pull information created by another user, you should store whatever data you want to extract into a database first and then subsequently pull it with your other user.

So for example,

Mentor model

Mentor has_many courses Mentor has_many users

User model

User belongs_to mentor

Course model

Course belong_to mentor

And all you have to do is get

@user (being your current user object)

@user.mentor.courses
