How do I limit the creation of new users to specified administrators on ActiveAdmin (Prevent users from creating more users)

We'd like all users to be able to access ActiveAdmin, however, we would like to limit the creation of new users to specified administrators. The ideal outcome would be that only administrators see the users resource.

Currently, any user can go on to users.rb and create a new user. How do I limit this so that only specified administrators can create users? How do I stop users from seeing this resource unless they are specified as an administrator?

Do I need to add an admin attribute to the users model? From there what do I do?

Using Rails 4 with Devise.

I only have a users.rb model, no adminusers model.

When installing ActiveAdmin I used:

rails g active_admin:install User # creates / edits the class for use with Devise

Thanks very much for your help!
