Hello, there: &nbsp;&nbsp;My app has already generated default actions, like index, edit, update, create, etc. , on a namespace "admin" URL, the route is as follow. However, I haven't figured out how to add new actions in class Admin::UsersController and matching it to the route.rb? For example I create a new action named "edit\_role", what else I should put on route.rb so that the route will go and pick this action? Thanks!

map.namespace :admin do |admin| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;admin.resources :tasks, :has\_many =\> :comments &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;admin.resources :users &nbsp;&nbsp;end

Br, MyST

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;admin.resources :users, :member =\> { :edit\_role =\> :get } or &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;admin.resources :users, :collection =\> { :edit\_role =\> :get }

depending on how it is to be called (with an :id or without).
