I’m building a test application where admin users have sub-users. Now, I  
want to let the admin user see all entries of their sub-users.

For instance, I tried: “current\_user.children.entries” (where  
current\_user is the admin user), but I’m getting an undefined method.

What’s the correct syntax to do it?

nevermind, I got it with:

current\_user.children.collect(&:entries).flatten
