I'm going through the video
Jason says to use the following code for the error to stop working.
attr_accessible :email, :password, :password_confirmation, :remember_me,
:first_name, :last_name, :profile_name
However, I'm using Rails 4.0 and the attr_accessible isn't used by Rails 4.0.
Is it safe to assume that the steps as mentioned in the video aren't needed with Rails 4.0?
Everything works fine without the code in the video but as Jason mentions there might be security problems with users making their roles admin.
