RoR Active Admin adding Users

This might be a very simple questions as I am just getting started with RoR and been doing as much learning through resources as possible. Basically I am using Active Admin to handle the admin portion of my application. What I am wondering about is creating a user model. I know Active Admin uses Devise for its autherzation so if run rails generate active_admin:resource Userit should create the user model the same way as if I ran it with Devise correct?

The end goal is to have the main front end page be a login for users that are created by the admin on Active Admin (no sign up from the front end) that will lead them to the secure information like Profile, orders, what ever.

What you're looking to do (assuming that you want to separate out the idea of Admin Users versus regular users) is first generate the new devise model as you normally would:

rails generate devise user

Then create a resource to manage them within active admin

rails generate active_admin:resource User

The rest is a standard devise integration assuming the pages are outside the scope of Active Admin.
