I understood what did you mean. But we don't have to think in "Role hasMany User" as in ownership thought. The "rule of thumb" is that the model that has a foreignKey to another "belongsTo" that model, i.e., if the "User" needs to know your Role, so the users table must have a role_id, so "User belongsTo Role" and "Role hasMany (or even hasOne if that's the case) User". Got it? :-P Best regards. -- MARCELO DE F.
