Access to admin urls in production gae app

[Richard Cheesmar]

I have uploaded a gae app for testing to production. I need to est the admin access. I have added two email addresses via permissions and set them as owners. I have a decorator which is called to check admin user and this is called properly on the local development machine. def admin_required(handler):  """  Decorator for checking if there's an admin user  Assigned Google App admin only NOT users with admin permissions  """  def check_admin(self, *args, **kwargs):  """  Admin decorator  """  logging.info(users.is_current_user_admin())  if not users.is_current_user_admin():  self.redirect_to('home')  else:  return handler(self, *args, **kwargs)  return check_admin I login to my app using one of the emails in permissions and then try to access an admin page and get the following: Error: Unauthorized Your client does not have permission to the requested URL /admin/delete-search-indexes. Am I missing something simple or is it that Google have to make everything difficult to understand?

I have this in app.yaml

- url: /admin.*
  script: main.app
  login: admin
  auth_fail_action: unauthorized

Hey Richard,

It appears as though you're returning the check_admin function itself rather than the result of calling the function, like check_admin(). Is that intentional? It's hard to tell what you're intending since the rest of your code which would give context is missing.

At any rate, this forum isn't meant for 1-on-1 technical support, but is rather for general discussion of the platform, so I think you should proceed to post this question, with a little more explanation, on stackoverflow. 

Have a great day,

Nick
