Use administrative tool on production?

Once I've published a website and have the membership, profile, and
role info in a production database, how can I use the Webadmin tool to
create new roles or maintain the site?

User and profile administration has been built into the app, but if I
change the app to have a new role, I don't see how to do that outside
of backing up the SQL database to the development machine, making the
changes, and copying it back into production. I'd rather avoid that if
I could.
 
I've always provided some admin pages in my apps that are only available to
priveleged users (i.e. they have a role of 'admin' or something). Those
pages provide for adding and deleting roles, assigning non-default roles to
users and so on.

Don't know if this will work for you. What does the specification document
say the application should do about this?

Specification? Where I work? Nah. Bunch of lawyers too busy to look at
specifications. But I did build in pages for the other stuff so I
guess I can put one in for roles.

It isn't likely that I'll need to do this, but I was curious. Mostly
I'm wondering if there was some way to run the Website Admin Tool on a
production app.
