Enhancement: Admin pages for users and roles about mean

[telemakhos]

An Admin Control Panel was in the ToDo list (I read it somewhere)...

This is exactly how I envision a badass MEAN starter. It would be so cool to add some of the drywall features (complete accounts workflow, basic admin control panel, role and basic user management, example form with csrf and email, etc). My wet dream also includes websockets in the mix... lol

I think it is pretty doable via modules/packages. We just need a stable architecture for the core project.

@telemakhos I was just going to ask for socket io support like: https://github.com/jedireza/drywall/wiki/Going-Realtime-with-Socket.IO

[rschwabco]

@telemakhos We are working on the Admin control panel, and we'll hopefully be able to release it soon. @amobrem - socket.io integration is definitely add to the generator, since some users might not want to install it by default.

[telemakhos]

Awesome @roieki ! 😄

[amobrem]

You guys are truly awesome. I cant wait till I become more proficient in the mean stack so I can start helping!

[davecyen]

Hey there, is an admin control panel still on the roadmap? Would be super helpful!

Is there any documentation or examples on how to assign and customize user roles?

[rschwabco]

@davecyen yes, the admin control panel is still on the roadmap. I'm working on a new video that would include some more advanced topics, and I believe I'm going to cover authentication and roles as well.

[davecyen]

Awesome, video would be super helpful. Thanks

@roieki Do you have an update on when you will have that video or even if you have a fork of any roles based work for meanjs? I am going to get started on it myself, but if there is already work done on it I'd rather start there. If not far enough long yet to publish then no big deal. Thanks for all the work so far!

@JonVisc Did you make any project with admin pages included since you posted?

[JonVisc]

I started to but have only like 1 true day of solid dev on the implementation before I was pulled off onto different things. :-/ Sorry for the let down.

[Trevogre]

Is there a design for the admin pages, or a feature list. I'm going to have to work on something for my current project. I'd like to not get too far off the path. I suppose I could attempt to contribute something.

I think I need add user / and edit user for the admin. Roles other than admin would be nice but I don't think necessary for the version of mean that I'm using since the permissions are mostly manually added in a final project.

I noticed user roles were added to the User model: http://meanjs.org/changelog.html
Is there any documentation on the best way to use this feature? I do not think the generator supports it yet.

in 0.3 i have found a user.hasAuthorization module that helped me to make an ACL system for REST:

app.route('/sales/:saleId')
        .get(sales.read)
        .put(users.requiresLogin, users.hasAuthorization(['admin']), sales.update)
        .delete(users.requiresLogin, users.hasAuthorization(['admin']), sales.delete);

in user.roles model i have added different roles

and in angularjs app added a new module called "admin" and filter it on menu with:

// Admin module config
angular.module('admin').run(['Menus',
    function(Menus) {
        Menus.addMenuItem('topbar', 'Admin', 'admin','dropdown',undefined,false,['admin']);
        Menus.addSubMenuItem('topbar', 'admin', 'Sale', 'admin/sales'); 
        Menus.addSubMenuItem('topbar', 'admin', 'Provider', 'admin/providers'); 
        Menus.addSubMenuItem('topbar', 'admin', 'User', 'admin/users'); 

    }
]);

addMenuItem accept a param that as an array of ROLES

Thank you v4l3r10!

@roieki I made a small admin module to handle some user CRUD functions:

https://github.com/trainerbill/mean/tree/AdminConsole

Was wondering if you or someone on the project wanted to take a look and provide feedback.
