I’m having a difficult time looking @user[:domains] from  
auth\_generator. Here is the output from debug:

debug(@user[:domains])

will print out:

* * *

TESTERS: “1”  
ADMIN: “1”

But if I use @user[:domains][:TESTERS] it returns nil. How would I go  
about accessing the level of each of the domains? Thanks.

Try using @user[:domains][“TESTERS”]

Tried @user[:domains][“TESTERS”]. But still nothing.
