Answer 1

The user ID of the form in "editusers" is set to your admin (or logged in user). It's hard to say without seeing the code but I think you've set up the editusers form incorrectly. Perhaps using a hidden field to hold the ID of the user you want to update.
Try to avoid that and set up the #user object in the 'editusers' action #user = User.find(10)
Then in your view use a form_for #user do |f| without any hidden fields for the ID.

after 10 days ,, Yes i did it - the solution is in the name of submit , I named the two submits with diffrent names <%= f.submit "update", name:"other" %> then i used the update action like this
def update
if params[:current]
#user = current_user
if #user.update_attributes(user_params)
redirect_to '/profile'
else
redirect_to '/edit'
end
elsif params[:other]
#other_user=User.find(params[:id])
if #other_user.update_attributes(otherusers_params)
redirect_to '/'
else
redirect_to '/manage'
end
end
end
