I am using role\_requirement + restful\_authentication for my project.  
Role based authorization works fine as long as data is present in  
roles\_users table for users and roles. I would like to insert data into  
this table when some one sign up as a new user. How do I insert a record  
in this table as soon as someone signs up or someone activates their  
account?.

Are there any methods like (has\_role ‘registered’) that inserts the data  
into that table?.

You can do an after\_create in the user that has\_role ‘registered’
