Hi @mplewis! Thank you for using passwordless!

First off, I see nothing explicitly wrong with your approach, so if it works it works 😊

If you don't want to patch the existing controller, you could do something like

RailsAdmin.config do |config|
  config.authorize_with do |controller|
    class PasswordlessAdminHelper
      extend Passwordless::ControllerHelpers
    end
    user = PasswordlessAdminHelper.authenticate_by_session(User)
    redirect_to main_app.root_path unless user&.superuser
  end
end

I think that could work. You also create your very own, "real" controller and set that as RA's parent controller:

RailsAdmin.config do |config|
  config.parent_controller = '::AdminParentController'

  config.authenticate_with do
    require_admin!
  end
end

# app/controllers/admin_parent_controller.rb
class AdminParentController < ActionController::Base
  private

  def require_admin!
    current_user.superuser || redirect_to root_path
  end
end

Thanks for the suggestions! I took a look and found that the original one – editing RailsAdmin::MainController – seems to work with the least caveats.

Do you want me to add something in the Passwordless docs that includes this example as a way to integrate with Pundit?

Great!

Yes, a note would be great. I'm considering whether the project Wiki would be a better place to put it than the Readme? What do you think?

I can't seem to access the wiki for this project. I generally feel like the readme is more accessible because you can Cmd-F for everything you need in one spot. I'm happy to put this info wherever you like – let me know!

Let's just do the Readme 👍 Thanks!
