Login to specific pages in Rails

I'm setting up a basic rails website/application and my plan is that the website will be open to everyone but I do want to have the option to edit the DB (Currently using the edit pages generated by scaffold).

In short, I want these pages to be blocked to everyone and only be accessed by using a user name and passwords. What's the simplest way of achieving that?

Thanks!

you could use an authentication system like Devise. . the other option is rolling your own authentication system. you should take a look at this treehouse course or the Rails Tutorial by Michael Hartl which covers rolling your own authentication system in great detail
