Create Admin Users with Active Admin using email only!

admin_users-with_active_admin.rb

# As admin you can create other Admin Users with thier email only where password link is sent via email

# 1- Gemfile
gem 'devise'
gem 'activeadmin', github: 'gregbell/active_admin'

# 2- Install Devise then Active Admin
rails g devise:install
rails g active_admin:install
# You might see other instructions inthe terminal, just follow them
# Type Yes for override user modle

# 3- migrate
rake db:migrate

# 4- Update Admin User form: 'app/admin/admin_user.rb'
# Basicly comment password and confirm_password inputs
form do |f|
  f.inputs "Admin Details" do
    f.input :email
  end
  f.actions
end

# 5- Admin can created by email only without a password
# creat_after sends email to the Admin's email with a link to create a password
after_create { |admin| admin.send_reset_password_instructions }
def password_required?
  new_record? ? false : super
end


# 6- Then we need to update our mailr default URL in development here, 'config/environments/development.rb'
config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { :host => 'localhost:3000' }
# For sure send email will fail, because we need to setup a Mailer for the email to be sent, 
# check Action Mailer (http://guides.rubyonrails.org/action_mailer_basics.html)
# But we can view the email content on the terminal.
