I created a starter project recently that includes authentication, testing, image uploads, and other items in a beginning project. It is based on rails 2.3.2. It can be found on github and a more thorough explanation can be found on my website. Hope this helps!

Rails 2.0 automatically adds a timestamp field to your database, which notes creation and last update date/time, so your created_at field is redundant.

so this way when browsing to http://localhost:3000/users it will have all whole CRUD, which obviously should only appear in the “admin” area.

How can I separate the views like:

http://localhost:3000/users
(and)
http://localhost:3000/admin
