Custom Spree Devise Registration - Admin Authorization Failure

Question

I have added name, surname and birthdate fields to devise registration. Here is the link to my original question.

Adding name to Spree Devise registration

It seems that on the frontend side everything works. However I now get an Authorization Failure alert when I try to access my admin.

Here is the console log:

Started GET "/admin/orders" for ::1 at 2015-07-21 13:25:16 -0500

I have tried to override app/controllers/spree/admin/users_controller_decorator.rb

module Spree
  module Admin
   UsersController.class_eval do

    private
     def user_params
         params.require(:user).permit(:email, :password, :password_confirmation, :spree_role_ids, :name, :surname, :birthdate)

     end

   end
  end
end

Answer 1

You Cant asign a role admin to any user from frontend side. Please register a user from front end and change it role from backend.

Answer 2

When you register a user from front-end, it is a simple user he is not an admin or he have not admin rights that why you are facing this issue.

If you want to create a user which have admin access then you simply go to admin panel and give permissions to that users.

This is the default command to create admin, run this command in console

bundle exec rake spree_auth:admin:create

Thanks
