Yesterday I implemented the user management dashboard for admins (boards owner). As the boilerplate already has the user management dashboard (for website admins) it was easy to copy the code and slightly edit it.

Here is the result:
Board admin

What I added was removing columns and adding new ones. Role and verified flag were new columns. I also provided the verification API.

Time spent: 2 hours
Total time spent so far: 55.5 hours

Thanks! Stay tuned!
