💡 AI App Starter Prompt

Use this prompt to build a project with Flask-Admin 
Create a simple inventory management system using Flask and Flask-Admin. This mini-application will allow users to manage a list of products including their names, descriptions, quantities, and prices. The application should have the following functionalities:

1. **Product CRUD Operations**: Users should be able to create, read, update, and delete products from the inventory.
2. **Search Functionality**: Implement a search bar where users can find products based on their names or descriptions.
3. **Sorting Options**: Allow sorting of products by name, price, or quantity.
4. **User Authentication**: Integrate basic user authentication so that only authenticated users can access the admin panel. Use Flask-Login for this purpose.
5. **Role-Based Access Control**: Differentiate between admin and regular user roles. Admins should have full access to all features, while regular users can only view the product list.
6. **CSV Export**: Add a feature to export the current inventory as a CSV file.

**Utilization of Flask-Admin**:
- Utilize Flask-Admin's ModelView class to define views for managing your Product model.
- Customize these views to include the specific fields you want to display, edit, and filter by.
- Use Flask-Admin's built-in functionality for searching and sorting to implement these features efficiently.
- Implement role-based access control within Flask-Admin by overriding its default behavior or through custom decorators.
- For the CSV export feature, you can extend Flask-Admin's functionality by adding custom actions or views.
