how does a user become an admin?

[Emmanuel Mayssat]

I downloaded an Google AppEngine from GitHub.

In the app.yml, I see directives like:

handlers:

- url: /admin/.*

  script: main.app

  login: admin

What is required for a user to be considered admin?

[Gianni]

the admin users are listed in 'Permissions' page

I found the permission page for the application hosted at google.

But how do I set a user as admin on a devel server?

Apparently on the dev server, I need to login using /_ah/login and select login as administrator.

That creates a dev_appserver_login cookie.

Not sure how that works if you have your own login facility as I do....

How can my user be admin when using my own login facility?

It may be that you have to use the google appengine user model...

Apparently no one on this mailing list knows how to verify

handlers:

- url: /admin/.*

  script: main.app

  login: admin                  <-- here !

Will try stackoverflow !

Hi,

Sorry about that, I missed that you wanna to use your own authentication for logins. I might be wrong but pretty sure that this "login: admin" is only for the "built-in" autentication of Google, the same used to log on the GAE console.

I guess you need to create your own filter for this, using your own decorator on the webapp.RequestHandler maybe?

hope it helps...
