Add administrative interface

Would be nice to manage Prezento's content without using the console.

Hi Diego,

What are the models that you wanna in this interface? User, Project, MetricConfiguration and ReadingGroup?

I'm working in this issue and I am worried about authorization and acess permissions to this feature. The documentation of the RailsAdmin suggests that we use CanCan gem, but I don't know if this is the best way to do this.

What do you think about this?

PS: my work branch.

Hi @alvarofernandoms,

You can go with the global configuration: https://github.com/sferik/rails_admin/wiki/Base-configuration

CanCan is just necessary if we want different levels of access for differents users with administration access. What we really want is to set a special admin flag on regular users allowing those special users full access to the administrative interface. You can achieve this with the Devise configuration: https://github.com/sferik/rails_admin/wiki/Devise

Looks like you are halfway done looking at your work branch. Nice :)
