[LRUG] Setting default roles in a user record

[James Adam]

Or, sidestep the whole "initialization" issue:

  class User < ActiveRecord::Base
    def self.create_with_default_roles(*attributes)
      new_user = new(*attributes)
      Roles.find_all_default_roles.each do |role| # or whatever
        new_user.roles << role
      end
    end
    # etc...
  end

My point is, you don't need this to happen *automagically*. Just
define a new method that does what you want, and call it wherever you
want this default user created.
