Custom callback for RailsAdmin::MainController

I have an role column in my User model and I want to prevent someone from accessing the rails_admin routes if they don't have an admin flag. Since the RailsAdmin::MainController doesn't inherit from ApplicationController I'm not sure how I can insert this check before the view loads.

I'm not keen on creating a new Admin model as per the devise docs. I would like to use the same user account.

Does anyone have any suggestions? =)

You can define from which controller your rails admin will inherit by defining it in the config/initializers/rails_admin.rb file like this:

RailsAdmin.config do |config|
  config.parent_controller = '::ApplicationController'
end

And also i recommend using a gem to handle authorization, cancancan or pundit will handle nicely your use case.
