##Creating Users ^ To create a user you need to run an api call user_register

	// example params
	params: {
		username: 'example@domain.com',
		password: 'pass1234',
		accept_terms: 1
	}
	
	// make request

Response

{
    "message": "User was successfully registered",
    "code": 0
}

##Update user to super admin ^

db.users.update(
	{ _id: ObjectId("ID") },
	{
		// userinfo ...
		userType: 'sa'	
	});

##How to make tag versions ^ Before commiting changes!

modify config.base.js

 version: {
 	current		: 'v0.2.6', // <= change version
 	description	: 'bug fix: profile image', // <= change description of new version
 	log		: 'logs/version.log'
 },

 # commit changes
 $ commit -m "my commit"
 
 # create tag
 $ make tag
 
 # push changes
 $ git push -u origin master --tags

##Common Issues ^

The first time you start your app could crash, because no db was created before. Start again the application and there should not be an error. $ sails lift
Trying start the app at port :80 getting errors?
- you need more priveliges to start your app $ sudo sails lift
