Create a way to make user admins

[dvidsilva]

Super admin users can assing new users to be admins, there should be a secret endpoint or a way to do this. Which is not super clear to me.

Or, if easier, describe the steps necesary to do this on the mongod console.

I'll handle this one. My idea is to manually set up a super admin in the mongoos. That super admin would then be able to use the app to make other users admins when the super admin views the profile. Also admins would be able to create other admins. I'll have a middleware that will reject requests to create admins for non admins or superadmins.
Let me know if this works then I'll assign it to myself and get to it.

Hi, perfect, that works, couple of questions.

• would it be possible to send an user like an email invite with a code and when they sign up they are created as admins?
• how is the first super user created? by going into the database manually?

Thanks!

• Yeah we can have emails sent to them. We can hook it up with sendgrid to handle email sending and use their free plan.

• Yes the first super will need to be entered manually. Can't think of another way of doing it.
