Structuring my website with Ruby on Rails

I am new to Ruby on Rails. I am trying to develop a website which has the structure as explained below. I have 2 tables (say A and B).A has many B.I have models and controllers for these tables(say A_m,A_c and B_m,B_c). My aim is to have different contorllers and views, for users and administrators. So I have another controller (say X_c).

Will I be able to fetch data into X_C and its associated views from the 2 tables( 2 models)? Or is this structure completely wrong? What materials can I refer to, to be able to acheive this?

You don't need separate controllers for admins and users. You just need to lock down access to certain actions via some authorization mechanism. This site has a list of popular authorization tools that can help you do this.

You can fetch data from A_m or B_m in the X_C controller. Here is an example:

class XController < ApplicationController
    users = AModel.all
    other_table_data = BModel.where("field = 'value'")
end

All the models can accessed from any controller.
