I commonly create a user (usually my email) and an Admin group and then add myself to the Admin group. I have logic in the Starter app based on the Admin group. I usually have other groups such as Operations and Customer Service (I tend to build enterprise 'line of business' apps). Since I frequently clean out the database during initial development, I just created an initialization function that automatically adds an initial set of test users, groups, and memberships so I don't have to do it manually, The Initialization function also calls a function that automatically populates tables with test data (using the Populate function) that is helpful for quick demos during prototyping and user demos. You can modify the routines to meet your needs - it's just something I always end up creating so I put it in my scaffold app.
