for a simple case, assuming there are 2 roles: normal_user , admin,

if you just want to "admin" to access "/admin" (activeadmin's default namespace), while "normal_user" can not, I suggest you take a look a hook method: 

# config/initializers/active_admin.rb
config.before_filter :check_user_role

# define this method in applicaton_controller.rb
def check_user_role
  redirect_to root_path unless current_user.role == "admin"
end
