Just tested it, admin creation seem to work during the test I've done at least admin user is created, for the rest I don't know, am not sure yet what could be done with the changes, I need to have a closer look in the code for it. There is a bug you mentioned in another mail with tests, if we are loggged out, test fails and logically tests requiring auth failed, to follow one of your proposal, I think we should add a warning on top of tests saying that an admin user exists and tests will fail; something like it. About the ui the font size may be a little too small and login line should be imo on the top. More generally i'm a little frustrated, I can create an admin, add more admins, but what about removing one ? Also Having an interface allowing me to create more user and list them would be really cool. Anyway I really like having the possibility to create user from futon thanks for that :) I will have a closer look on code in the next days. - benoît
