Hi all, I’ve got a strange trouble with those plugins in subject. Im new in rails and just trying to get some basic things working before proceeding to something more complicated. So here is the step-by-step descirption of what i did: $ mysqladmin create auth\_development $ rails auth $ ./script/plugin install [http://svn.techno-weenie.net/projects/plugins/acts\_as\_authenticated](http://svn.techno-weenie.net/projects/plugins/acts_as_authenticated) $ ./script/plugin install [http://svn.writertopia.com/svn/plugins/authorization](http://svn.writertopia.com/svn/plugins/authorization) $ ./script/generate authenticated user account $ ./script/generate role\_model role $ rake db:migrate added following to my environment.rb: AUTHORIZATION\_MIXIN = “object roles” DEFAULT\_REDIRECTION\_HASH = { :controller =\> ‘account’, :action =\> ‘login’ } added those to my user model: acts\_as\_authorized\_user acts\_as\_authorizable and this to my account controller def secure\_info permit “admin” render :text =\> “you’re admin if you can read this.” end def for\_testers permit “admin or tester” render :text =\> “you’re admin or tester if you can read this.” end def for\_noone permit “noone” render :text =\> “you shouldnt be able to read this.” end def add\_sample\_roles current\_user.has\_role “tester” current\_user.has\_role “admin” current\_user.save! redirect\_to :index end $ ./script/server (signed up as a new user, login, go to add\_sample\_roles) now i can visit secure\_info and for\_testers okay, but when i try to visit for\_noone i didnt get the right error message like permission denied but this one: Can only render or redirect once per action ## with this session dump: :return\_to: :user: 1 flash: !map:ActionController::Flash::FlashHash :notice: Permission denied. Your account cannot access the requested page. so how do i fix that? hope i gave enough details on it ---
