Adding New Admins to Active Admin

Question

I am using devise for my users. I recently installed the rails Active Admin gem, everything is working beautifully.

However I can't figure out how to add a new admin users. I can see that active admin created an admin_user table in the db with a user [email protected], which I use to log in to the interface.

I tried adding admin_user as a resource so that I can just click the Add Admin User button within the active admin interface to add a new user, however that does not seem to work.

Answer 1

What brian said works perfectly http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/ruby/create-beautiful-administration-interfaces-with-active-admin/

AdminUser.create!(:email => '[email protected]', :password => 'password', :password_confirmation => 'password') 

Answer 2

What Brian said works, but if you want to set the password in the interface rather than have it send a reset email try this:

Leave the admin_user model at its original generated default, then in app/admin/admin_users.rb:

ActiveAdmin.register AdminUser do   index do     column :email     column :current_sign_in_at     column :last_sign_in_at     column :sign_in_count     default_actions   end    form do |f|     f.inputs "Admin Details" do       f.input :email       f.input :password       f.input :password_confirmation     end     f.buttons   end end
