Do I need an admin panel for a Ruby on Rails content project?

Question

Ruby on Rails

Guys help advice. I want to understand the principle of building content projects. There is a site for example edimdoma.ru it is written in Ruby on Rails. In appearance, the site is beautiful and functional, but I can’t understand whether an admin panel (rails_admin, activeadmin) was created for it for posting, rights, etc., or with the help of special gems. Help to understand the principles of development of such a project.
Thanks in advance.

It often happens that gems like activeadmin, administrate are not enough and you need to make the admin panel on your own, moving it, for example, to namespace

# routes.rb
namespace :admin do
  resources :articles
  resources :posts
end

Accordingly, routes will need to have a controller app/controllers/admin/articles_controller.rb

# admin/articles_controller.rb
class Admin::ArticlesController < Admin::BaseController
...
end

# admin/base_controller.rb
class Admin::BaseController < ApplicationController
  before_action :authenticate_admin!
  layout 'admin'

  protected
  def authenticate_admin!
    authenticate_user!
    redirect_to :root unless current_user.admin?
  end
end
