title: Devise: How to create a private admin role?
body: <p>I have a simple Rails 3 blog app that needs an admin user so I can restrict creating and editing blog entries to the admin. I've used devise before, but only for users that are public and can be created by anyone. I don't want the ability to create an admin to be publicly accessible. How should I configure devise to be able to have an admin user?</p>
