When I go to the 0.0.0.0:3000 I see the MEAN home page. I have signed up and logged in. But I'm unable to create any article.

You need to add your user as an admin role using the mongo shell. Then you will be authenticated to view the Admin menu and page, which now contains the create article page.

@hyperreality could you provide commands in the mongo shell ?

[hyperreality]

I'm don't have the mongo shell in front of me and am doing this from memory, but I think it should work:

use mean-dev
db.users.update( { username: 'YOUR_USERNAME' }, { $set: { roles: ['user', 'admin'] } })

But in any case I suggest you read the manual :)

[mleanos]

@hyperreality's suggestion will work (not sure on the syntax though). However, as an alternative the MONGO_SEED option can be set when starting a MEANJS application to create an Admin user, if one doesn't exist. When a new user is created using the MONGO_SEED options, the password will be output in your console.

See https://github.com/meanjs/mean#running-with-user-seed for more information.
