mean.io what's the best way to set up an admin user + admin module

All the times I use http://www.mean.io/ I've got the hassle to set up an admin user + admin module + (if needs) manage acl

What I do up to now:

add this rule tomodels/user.js

role: {
    type: String,
    required: true,
    default: 'authoring'
}

set up an init.js for sign up the user admin like:

var userData = { "name" : "User Admin", "email" : "[email protected]", "username" : "admin","role" : "admin","password":"admin"};
var user = new User(userData);
user.provider = 'local';
user.save(function(err) {  
    if (err) {
        console.log(err);
        process.exit();
        return;
    }
    console.log(user); 
    process.exit();
});

set up three folders

I don't trust manage sensible data only client side

set up acl

a simple acl both for the server and for the client like: 

//SERVER
'use strict';

/**
 * Generic require login routing middleware
 */
exports.requiresLogin = function(req, res, next) {
    if (!req.isAuthenticated()) {
        return res.redirect('/signin');
    }
    next();
};

/**
 * Generic require login routing middleware
 */
exports.apiRequiresLogin = function(req, res,next) {
    if (!req.isAuthenticated()) {
        return res.jsonp(401,{ error:'User is not authorized'});
    }
    next();
};

// Profile authorization helpers
exports.isOwnerProfile = function(req, res, next) {
    if (req.user.role !== 'admin') {
        if (req.profile.id !== req.user.id) {
            return res.send(401, 'User is not authorized');
        }
    }
    next();
};

// User admin authorization helpers
exports.isAdmin = function(req, res, next) {
    if (req.user.role !== 'admin') {
        return res.send(401, 'User is not authorized');
    }
    next();
};

// Article authorization helpers
exports.requireSameAuthor = function(req, res, next) {
    if (req.post.user.id !== req.user.id) {
        return res.send(401, 'User is not authorized');
    }
    next();
};
//CLIENT
.factory('Global', function($cookieStore) {
        var user = $cookieStore.get('USER');
        var _this = this;
        _this._data = {
            user: user,
            _authenticated: !!user,
            _isAdmin: (user.role==='admin'),
            isAuthenticated: function() {
                return this._authenticated;
            },
            isAdmin: function() {
                return this._isAdmin;
            },
            isActionDisabled:function(post){
                if(this.isAdmin()){
                    return false;
                }
                return (this.user.id === post.author_id);
            }
        };
        return _this._data;
    })

What's the best way to set up a admin user + admin module + acl ?

I saw in the new realise there are packages can them be usefull for this ?

UPDATE

Sorry I didn't see the doc http://www.mean.io/#!/docs

Yes the mean packages are what you will want to use. To install mean:

npm install -g meanio

To install the mean-admin package:

mean install mean-admin

To create admin role for user:

mean user <your_signin_email> -a admin
