I created a website with 3 different roles based on Pundit as an enum, users can be an analyst, developer or an administrator.
I have a controller System with an action, users_list .
def users_list
@users = User.order(:id).page params[:page]
authorize @users
end
And bellow is my view. def users_list @users = User.order(:id).page params[:page] authorize @users end
<%- model_class = User -%>
<div class="page-header">
<h1><%=t '.title', :default => model_class.model_name.human.pluralize.titleize %></h1>
</div>
<table class="table table-striped">
<thead>
<tr>
<th><%= model_class.human_attribute_name(:id) %></th>
<th><%= model_class.human_attribute_name(:email) %></th>
<th><%= model_class.human_attribute_name(:role) %></th>
<th><%= model_class.human_attribute_name(:created_at) %></th>
<th><%=t '.actions', :default => t("helpers.actions") %></th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<% @users.each do |user| %>
<tr>
<td><%= link_to user.id, edit_user_registration_path(user) %></td>
<td><%= user.email %></td>
<td><%= user.role %></td>
<td><%=l user.created_at %></td>
<td>
<%= link_to t('.destroy', :default => t("helpers.links.destroy")),
cancel_user_registration_path(user),
:method => :delete,
:data => { :confirm => t('.confirm', :default => t("helpers.links.confirm", :default => 'Are you sure?')) },
:class => 'btn btn-xs btn-danger' %>
</td>
</tr>
<% end %>
</tbody>
</table>
<%= link_to t('.new', :default => t("helpers.links.new")),
new_user_registration_path,
:class => 'btn btn-primary' %>
What I want to know is how can I enable in this page the administrator to change the user's role.
So, I found the solution for my question, I've created a new action on Users Controller
class UsersController < ApplicationController
def update
@user = User.find(params[:id])
authorize @user
if @user.update_attributes(secure_params)
redirect_to controle_sistema_users_list_path, :success => 'User updated'
else
redirect_to controle_sistema_users_list_path, :alert => 'Unable to update user'
end
end
private
def secure_params
params.require(:user).permit(:role)
end
end
And created a form inside a td element in the users_list page
<td>
<%= form_for(user) do |f| %>
<%= f.select(:role, User.roles.keys.map {|role| [role.titleize,role]}) %>
<%= f.submit 'Change Role', :class => "btn btn-default btn-xs" %>
<%end%>
</td>
