There’s lots of plugins/gems that handle what you’re asking about.  
Personally, I’d recommend “Clearance” for user authorisation  
management.

For permissions use “Aegis” but “CanCan” seems very popular.

Well, the Rails scaffolding will get you off to a good start there 😉  
But there are other “admin” interfaces:
