Hello, there:  
My app has already generated default actions, like index, edit,  
update, create, etc. , on a namespace “admin” URL, the route is as  
follow. However, I haven’t figured out how to add new actions in  
class Admin::UsersController and matching it to the route.rb? For  
example I create a new action named “edit\_role”, what else I should  
put on route.rb so that the route will go and pick this action?  
Thanks!

map.namespace :admin do |admin|  
admin.resources :tasks, :has\_many =\> :comments  
admin.resources :users  
end

Br,  
MyST

```
admin.resources :users, :member => { :edit_role => :get }

```

or  
admin.resources :users, :collection =\> { :edit\_role =\> :get }

depending on how it is to be called (with an :id or without).
