Hi everyone,
I wanted to get some ideas/links/references from you concerning the building
of account management into a new site of ours. Essentially, people will sign
up for our web service for $$$/month and should only see their data. Now, in
previous simple projects, we've just put in each database table that held
user-specific data an "account_id" column, and depending on the user's
session info, would only do ActiveRecord searches filtered with {:conditions
=> ["account_id = ?", current_user.account_id]}. Is there a better way to do
this? I haven't worked on any large web sites, and the technical web
resources (aka. other programmers) I have available to me at my current
position are nil (see Lead Web Engineer at the bottom...). Are there more
secure ways to go about this, or is this a pretty straightforward approach
to a simple problem?
PS: I don't even know what to search for on Google to read up on this
abstraction level of web architecture! Does it have a name?
Thanks,
Adam
