Rails Controller Authenticate two separate user models

Question

I have a messages controller, so that printers and users can send messages to each other. I need to Auth both printers and user. Is there a way of doing something like below in the controller?

before_action :authenticate_printer! || before_action :authenticate_user!

You can define a third method

before_action :authenticate

def authenticate
  authenticate_printer! || authenticate_user!
end

Of course, authenticate_printer! and authenticate_user! must return false on failure, and not raise.
