Build a Simple Ruby Application - Edit + Delete Status w/o logging in

So I am nearing the end where I will be deploying this rails app to Heroku, but I am noticing that when O run the app on the rails dev server that if I am not logged in I am still able to edit/delete any statuses. I am trying to remember where in the code this needs to change.

The links are enclosed in a div admin tags in the status/index.html.erb view; statuses_controller_test.rb: I believe i have added sign_in_users(:jason) to the appropriate tests

thanks for any help!

Hi Robert Gray,

Sorry for the slow response. Jason Seifer is at a conference this week, but he should be able to reply to your question soon!

I have a similar problem with exception, when logout, I can not edit statuses but I can delete statuses. I want, when logged out, that the visitor can not delete post (the same way as edit already functiones). Thanks!

Hey Primož Škerget can you start a new thread on that subject? That will make it easier for people having the same issue to search.
