To set up the development data server, follow the instructions on our the README of our API.
To be an admin in the database is to have a security_level of greater than 0 (there are only 0 and 1 currently). Only admins can POST, PATCH, and DELETE. Any user can GET. Since every user at creation is given a security_level of 0, developers must use rails console to change the security_level of any user.
The Rails console lets you interact with the Rails API from the command line with Ruby. For instance:
> u = User.find_by(first_name: 'Jason')
> u.update(security_level: 1)
Accessing rails console in a locally hosted API is trivial, but to use it with our production database requires more instruction.
