Ruby on Rails

Can you share the content of session_help.rb?
In your Users table, do you set a flag to indicate whether or not the user is admin?
The Controller informs and interacts with your Model.
When the user logs in,  you have a controller method that manages login.  You try to find the user by username, password, email or some combination...

def login

Based on railstutorials.org, I've written my method to check whether it is admin or not inside sessions_helper.rb. Now in model I've to insert data to temporary table lets assume "user_temp_table", if it is normal user that has logged in. Later those entries will be approved by admin. If it is admin himself logged in I want to insert data to permanent table lets assume "admin_table".

Now where is the best place to call admin checking method which I have written inside sessions_helper.rb.

I have two possibilities.

1. Set a flag to 1 or 0 inside controller and access that flag variable from model if it is admin or user respectively.

Problem: But I found some blogs and stackoverflow posts stating that controller is just a bridge between view and model. And variables inside controller should not be accessed from model. Addition to that I don't know how to access controller variable from model. If this is the method please tell me how?

2. include SessionHelper inside model and call the method.

But posts I found related to both of these solutions are very old. So in rails 4 which is the valid and good way to carry out this task? Or is there is any other new way?

Thank you.
