ActiveAdmin actions

is there a way to specify in ActiveAdmin's index page of a model what actions are allowed, things like:

index do
  actions :edit
end

index do
  actions only: :edit
end

do not work. What's the correct syntax?

Appreciated.

bundle show activeadmin
/home/muichkine/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.2/bundler/gems/active_admin-9cfc45330e5a

Add whatever actions you want to be available by using actions (it is usually put under model definition):

ActiveAdmin.register YourModel do
  actions :index, :show, :create, :edit, :update
  # ...
end

If you want to specify the method for certain action, you can do

action_item only: :show  do
  link_to 'Edit', action: :edit # so link will only be available on show action
end

If you want multiple custom actions, instead of dealing with joining the links manually like Ziv Barber did, you can also use the item method like so:

actions defaults: true do |user|
  item "Report", report_admin_user_path(user), method: :put
  item "Unlock", unlock_admin_user_path(user), method: :put
end

According to source code, https://github.com/activeadmin/activeadmin/blob/master/lib/active_admin/views/index_as_table.rb#L80

if one want to change the actions in the index he should go with

actions defaults: false do |sample|
  link_to t('active_admin.edit'), admin_sample_path(sample)
end

where you can replace the link title and the path for the action

For Example:

    actions defaults: false do |user|
      link_to t('active_admin.view'), admin_user_path(user)
    end

Note:

Keep in mind that add the path correctly like for show it should be admin_user_path(:id) and for index it should be admin_users_path :)

Example how to play with the action column. In this example I just re-implemented the default one, but you can do powerful coding here:

column :actions do |item|
  links = []
  links << link_to('Show', item_path(item))
  links << link_to('Edit', edit_item_path(item))
  links << link_to('Delete', item_path(item), method: :delete, confirm: 'Are you sure?')
  links.join(' ').html_safe
end

Do this way,

ActiveAdmin.register Foobar do
  actions :all, :except => [:destroy]
end

or 

ActiveAdmin.register Foobar do
  actions :only => :edit
end

Need to be specified at resource level not in method definition
