Active Admin and Devise

[kgeographer]

I plan to use Active Admin for the app I'm building but want other kinds of users/roles, e.g. ordinary user, and editor. Will the app template here work in concert with Active Admin's implementation of Devise, or is it a can of worms?

I am an intermediate web developer, but new to Rails.

I haven't used Active Admin so can't comment. For a simple role-based authorization app, I recommend using the rails-devise-roles example. You can build it with Rails Composer and add the Upmin interface. There's a full tutorial available for the rails-devise-roles example.
