Side note --
you probably want to pass that as (:current_admin_id=>admin.id)

You're doing a redirect, which means the request will be sent to the
controller and method associated with "admins_index_path".

In *that* controller and method, you must set the variables you need,
e.g. @admin = Admin.find(params[:current_admin_id]

Then your view can use attributes e.g. @admin.name
