Insert only field

Hello,

I am new to RoR. I have situation that cannot find solution. I use the same user model for signup to system and edit user profile. How to make username field just insertable and not updatable? Is it possible to restrict this in model?

Yes, with validations. You can have different validations rules for create and update.
