Quick background, I'm still very new to web2py and learning so be prepared for newbie questions from me!
When working locally I've been using the admin interface to manage my tables. If I deploy a site, I no longer have access to this. (or maybe i do but I'm doing something wrong with gae). To get around this, I'm trying to make my own admin pages that are only visible to users that are members of a group I've just been calling 'admins.' I don't want everyone who signs up to be able to see and edit all my tables. I want to not have to depend on the built in admin interface to manage my database. (or maybe I DO want to be relying on this and I've just been doing things wrong?) I have most of this working locally so far, but when I deploy I have no way of making an initial user that is a member of this admin group. Also, the actual admin group doesn't exist either since I used the admin interface to create it on my local copy. Is there a common way people set up an initial user to be an administrator, or am I going about this problem all wrong? Do people typically bother making admin sections on their deployed sites, or is there a better way I'm not seeing?
