Ruby on Rails

I may not be answering your question on this one, but I just an admin tool to add a user since the administrator of the system must grant the proper role to the new user. 

So, if am using rails_admin with the project, add the user in that tool and assign the appropriate role_id.

The code can also be setup so a user can sign-up them selves and a default role is assigned.

You can also add a user with a tool such as phpmyadmin, pgadmin, sqlite-browser like http://sqlitebrowser.org/.

I see that in one spot you have Admin - capitalized. and in another it is not capitalized - admin.

I wonder if capitalization matters in your code.

Note that we can't see your code.  That makes it harder to help you when we can't see the code.

As the error says, self.role is nil
