Hello…

Stupid question I’m sure…but I have tried:

params[:permission[:user\_id] etc., etc…

And I can get to the user\_id variable.

Parameters: {“commit”=\>“Add”, “permission”=\>{“document\_id”=\>“1”,  
“user\_id”=\>“2”}, “id”=\>“1”}

How do I access these variables from a post request.

Thank you.

GPB
