Using single user table for active admin and devise, but different login form

[dianseptiana]

Hi guys,

I want to implement user management with multiple roles system. The roles are front end user, supplier, moderator, and administrator. I want front end user to login in its login form using devise so the url will be something like this '/users/sign_in', and i want the admin (supplier, moderator, and admin) to login in different login page e.g. '/admin/login'. How i implement it using devise for front end and active admin for back end user? Any idea

If you're using AA for the backend, Devise stays pretty separate by default.

What you'd have to do, though, is override the authentication method on the backend side of things so that only users with certain roles could log in.

You'd have to effectively merge authentication and authorization.

But since this isn't really the place for "how to" questions, I'm going to close this. Feel free to continue the discussion, though!

@dianseptiana Have you found a solution?

@basco-johnkevin Not yet. I end up implemented devise on single model (User) with single login form and redirected the user to user dashboard or admin dashboard based on their role.
