I dont use HABTM much myself, however I dont think this line will work: @user = @dealer.users.create(params[:user].merge(:role_id => 3)
Try something like this instead: @dealer = Dealer.create(params[:dealer]) @user = @dealer.users.new(params[:user]) @user.roles << Role.find(3) @user.save On May 18, 12:22 pm, brianp <brian.o.pea...@gmail.com> wrote: > Based of the declaritive_authorization railscast I've set up a roles > table containing 3 role types.
