Ah yes, in console I have a line(when creating a user) saying....
Unpermitted parameters: password_confirmation, roles
I tried...
def create
@user = User.new(params[:user].permit(:id, :email, :password,
:roles_mask))
...etc...
and...
def create
@user = User.new(params[:user].permit(:id, :email, :password,
:roles_mask[:roles]))
and....
def create
@user = User.new(params[:user].permit(:id, :email, :password, :roles))
But none save the roles. The roles_mask col in the users table is an
integer. It explains the process in the link mentioned on my first post.
Using a "bitmask".
