Add administrative privileges (MB) #32

Open kourosh opened 9 years ago

kourosh commented 9 years ago

Need to create a class of users who are allowed to have access to the backend tools. In addition to being a Tally superuser, need to have at least two levels of validation. One level would be "researcher" and another would be "editor." A user with researcher privileges can only create events and politicians in draft mode, but cannot push the pols and events live. Users with editor privileges are allowed to push events and pols live (in addition to being able to push their own pols and events live).

This issue has two tasks:

I created an admin flag for users. They default to false on sign up. I then authenticated for admins to be able to create, update and delete pols and events. Let me know if this is okay for now. I just read that you wanted these two levels.

So make sure you bundle, migrate, and then in rails console create a user if you haven't signed up, and then add admin = true. save. boom. done. Message me with any questions.

Refresh my memory. I'm in rails c. How do I create a new user and set the flag to true?

Never mind. I used the new user registration screen. But when I tried to create myself as a user, here's the error I got:

What's happening?

Were you able to set your status to admin in the rails console?
