Hi I need help creating a Admin account and a Live Admin page. I have been able to create User accounts and data but I have been unable too see how I can define an admin user account. The aim is for admin to be able to display user data on the admins live page. Thanks šŸ™‚ ---

Add a field to the User. For simple Admin management, as simple IsAdmin = Yes/No, for more complex you could add a field ā€œpermissionsā€ which is a list of text values which define the users capabilities. e.g, you could have ADMIN\_USER\_Create, ADMIN\_USER\_Edit could be 2 permissions that relate to user administration. You would then look up these permissions to determine what the user logged in can do/see etc. ---

To expand a bit on Daveā€™s suggestion of granting a User conditionally determined permissions, youā€™ll likely want some kind of dashboard within the user interface, with fields calling in the type of User data you imagine the Admin needs to see. ---

Hi, I have a similar doubt. I understand DaveAā€™s solution but while working with conditionals Iā€™ve seen something that says ā€œWebsite admin emailā€. How do I set an Userā€™s email as the ā€œWebsite admin emailā€? ---

on my end iā€™m just adding a Role field under User then everytime a user is sign up it will set Role as Member so that all members will be members then i will manually add my User account Role as Admin then if i want a page to only view by an Admin i will hide the RG or Group then add a Condition it will only visible to Current Userā€™s Role is Admin because if i will only do a workflow to set Page load goto page Index if current userā€™s role is Member to prevent members to view the page it can be break by just pressing ESC. ---

Hey Dave Just followed your option for a simple admin. Administrator = True / False. I have set this up on the DATA \> USER \> Administrator = YES / NO How do I set up the workflow so its distinguishable from a normal login user ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/3X/a/2/a20ae6fba907b0febca81a41bf45179dea70cf9c.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/3X/4/8/48653ac94cd840d86fea1f19e232bfa7330b628d.png) Thanks Dave ---

@anon65040322 Tried it like this seems to work, donā€™t know if its the best way to do it though, only been on bubble for about 15 hours in total so everything is new to me. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/3X/5/1/514c48bae72608d45b86a0edd87f86567c838426.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/3X/d/c/dc619d93cfdefd0d612e1b23faca0839d26699fc.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/3X/7/7/774f89a08add46ad7a7456ae123471dc5febafaf.png) What do you think? ---

you havent set a data type for dashboard, change it user if thats what you want to send. but for dashboard i think you can leave blank. because you dont need a url like [yourapp.bubbleapps.io/dashboard/[userdata]](http://yourapp.bubbleapps.io/dashboard/%5Buserdata%5D) ---

Iā€™m attempting to do this, but when I click ā€œDeploy to Liveā€ the new ā€œadminā€ field isnā€™t added to live data structure. What am I doing wrong? Elsewhere on the forum it says that clicking the deploy button pushes the data structure from dev to live, which makes sense, but it isnā€™tā€¦ ---

Hi @anon39705632 and all. I am kind of facing a similar issue. My app isnā€™t live, but I want to make sure my email is set as Admin before I publish it. Whatā€™s the best way to do this? Iā€™ve set up an option set for ā€˜Adminā€™ ā€˜Clientā€™ and ā€˜managerā€™ under a created data type called ā€˜Roleā€™. But am not sure if the system understands this as the data type is just ā€˜textā€™. Help would be greatly appreciated
