Thank you, Bryan. This was terrifically helpful! And not including the letters R, T, F and M in rapid succession in your reply was very gracious. :)

Easy enough! While it seems a bit hard on one's source control system to be regenerating all of those auto files whenever other things change, it certainly is helpful when one wants to tweak the automatically generated functionality. (And come to think of it, we can certainly teach our SCM systems to just ignore those...) > > 2.

I did have to pore through the lifecycle docs a bit and play around in script/console before I realized that I needed :available_to => "User.administrator", rather than the plural form, but it's working great now. Here's the full entry from the User lifecycle for the benefit of those who might be doing something similar later on: create :create_new, :available_to => 'User.administrator', :params => [:name, :email_address, :administrator ], :become => :active (Because CAS is actually handling the password stuff, I can just leave it out, and tell the system to allow us to set whether the new user is an administrator or not, for which is automatically provides a friendly checkbox.)
