Thanks for the input. That does prevent the error but it does not actually update the roles_users join table that is a part of the habtm association between User and Role.
I just tried this code within Create and it seems to work:... @user = User.new(params[:user]) @user.roles.build(params[:role]) However, I have a question still. I was assuming that the Roles table would not actually have a new record added when saving an habtm assoc. model. I assumed only the join table and the Users table would be updated. Otherwise it seems as though I would have a lot of redundant data in my Roles table. Am I misunderstanding something here?
