@marthz what do you mean by an admin page? How do I incorporate this into the project? So do I add a list of schools in Sequel Pro? Then what do I do after that?

By admin page I mean a page that will allow to modify things in the app that a lambda user can't access, you will probably need an extra field in the user table to determine that.

Yep for starter just add some schools in sequel pro, then try and see if you can create a new user and affect him to some of those schools

@marthz I am able to manipulate the data in sequel pro. That seems to be the easy part. Just don't know where to start with regards the admin page?

@marthz Here is basically what I want to achieve "Basically this is what I want to achieve- I want to build a web app that allows someone to add a new member with the fields “Name”, “Email Address” and "School" (selected from a list). The web app should display all members for a selected school. Each member can be associated with 1 or more school. What might be the best way to approach this?"

Don't mind the admin page too much for now, try and manipulate the data in laravel and create some relatioships between schools and members.

For example try to create a user and make a relation between him and 3 differents schools.

Your problem is very similar to the tags example you talked about earlier, so that and the documentation will probably be your best learning resource there.
