Answer 1

All of what everyone else has said as well as in conjunction with the guide laid out at http://dan.doezema.com/2012/02/how-to-implement-a-single-user-model-with-rails-activeadmin-and-devise/

that adds some additional bits on information if you are choosing to revert back to the option to have a single user model when you have already implemented an admin_user model (ie right now you have a 'user' as well as an 'admin_user' model).

The additional steps included

remove devise_for :admin_users, ActiveAdmin::Devise.config from routes.rb copy code from app/admin/admin_user.rb to app/admin/user.rb (only use what is required) delete app/admin/admin_user.rb (or you will get an Uninitialized constant error on AdminUser) like this guy had (and me as well).
