Manually

In config/initializers/rails_admin.rb, you can add the following lines of code:

config.authorize_with do
  authenticate_or_request_with_http_basic('Login required') do |username, password|
    user = User.where(email: username, password: password, admin: true).first
    user
  end
end

This will call your User object from the database and check if it exists, If yes, it will login else it won't.
