Sorry but I figured I would ask the same questions posted before. There 
must be people using this recipe.

Basic question (short form): After the initial install of UserAuth2, how 
do I enable the default 'admin' user to login with 'admin' authority? I 
can login but I do not have those authorities. Hope I'm making some 
sense with this question or read the above post... or do I have the 
wrong expectation and doing something wrong.
