Hi,
This is about this book : http://www.pragmaticprogrammer.com/titles/fr_rr/index.html
The recipe #32 is about creating a role based authentification.
In the book, we use 3 tables:
"user" wich has and belongs to many "role" wich has and belongs to many "right":
class User < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :roles end class Role < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :users has_and_belongs_to_many :rights end class Right < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :roles end
But I think it is better to set something like that:
class Right < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :roles has_many :users, :through => :roles end class User < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :roles has_many :right, :through => :roles end class Role < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :group belongs_to :user end
Do you think it is better ?
IMHA It looks more " Rails 1.2"
