I’m trying to move RestfulAuthentication’s UsersController to an Admin  
module–Admin::UsersController–as I’m also adding roles and  
permissions for an app I’m building. I would like this all to be  
within a single user interface with a standard security level required  
for all these pieces as defined in Admin::BaseController.

So far, I’ve been able to view the /admin/users/new form and a list of  
users I built at /admin/users/ or /admin/users/list, but if I try to  
submit the /admin/users/new form, I get an error saying that the  
UsersController cannot be found. Also, if I set login\_required in the  
Admin::BaseController, I get an error that appears to state that  
SessionsController cannot be found in the /admin directory, which is  
true.

I think the problem lies in lib/authenticated\_session.rb, but I’m not  
sure where to begin. Has anyone else tried this? I see very few  
references, all questions, using Admin::UsersController, but no  
answers.

Thanks, and sorry for not posting exact errors. I’ll post tonight when  
I get home if no one has responded.
