Users

User types

User type	Determinator	Type-specific data
User	Any record in user table	-
Master Admin	Has role == "admin" on the top-level account	email, password
Admin	Has one or more role attached	email, password

Note that user types above are not mutually exclusive. For example, a Master Admin is also an Admin. An Admin is also a User too. Always pick the checker function that is most specific to your needs.

Also, the actual permissions that each Admin has are determined by the role-permission mapping, not the user type. For example, it may be possible for an Admin user to login to the admin panel but has no permissions to see any data.

Checker functions

Function	Master Admin	Admin	User
User.admin?/1	true	true	false

Since all users including admins can be end users, there is no checker function to check for an end user.

User roles

Two default roles are predefined after seeding: admin and viewer.
