Require scope in activeadmin resource

Question

I am using activeadmin and need to figure out how to require a scope to only show records pertaining to the current user.

I also have other scopes that users can select, but those scopes need to be "pre-scoped" so to speak so that only records belonging to that user are available at any given time.

I hope this makes sense. I'm fairly new to all of this, so i'm not real sure where to start. Thanks in advance for any help.

Did you try scoping with scope_to :current_user ?

AA has some examples with docs . Here they are http://activeadmin.info/docs/2-resource-customization.html#scoping_the_queries

current_user is helper method to get currently logged in user (currend_admin_user is default I think) code from AA initializer

# This setting changes the method which Active Admin calls
# to return the currently logged in user.
config.current_user_method = :current_user

If you had some kind of metod in your model that use your logged in user you can do something like that

controller do
      def scoped_collection
        Post.some_method(current_user)
        #or for example Post.select(current_user.visible_posts_columns) ... etc
      end
    end
