Add users roles in Meanjs

Recently I began to use MeanJs, it's pretty amazing but I don't understand some stuff. I need to create a simple user management for my backend.

From official blog they say:

New usability features: Added roles to the User model - the defaults are ‘user’ and ‘admin’, you can add and remove them as needed.

After a search I found some examples but all of these about meanio, not meanjs, there are a package MEAN-ADMIN in meanio that does it for us but in meanjs I not found.

Someone know the best way to implement a user management? some example?

Thanks guys.

The meanjs generator comes with some basic user roles built in. The roles is an array on the user model. 

roles: {
    type: [{
        type: String,
        enum: ['user', 'admin']
    }],
    default: ['user']
},

To add a user with the role admin just attach it to the user object before saving. 

user.roles = ['admin'];

If you want to use roles apart from admin and user you need to add then to the type enum.
