How do I specify wildcards in my routes -

$routeProvider
      .when('/admin/*', {
        templateUrl: 'admin.html',
        controller: 'AdminCtrl'
      })

So the above should work for /admin/users and /admin/users/1 or /admin/org/3. So there could be either one or two levels of path after admin. How do I do it ?

Currently AngularJS does not support regular expression in routes.

You can workaround as follows

 app.config(['$routeProvider', function($routeProvider) {
        $routeProvider
                 .when('/admin', {templateUrl: 'admin.html', controller: 'AdminCtrl'})
                 .when('/admin/:type', {templateUrl: 'admin.html', controller: 'AdminCtrl'})
                 .when('/admin/:type/:id', {templateUrl: 'admin.html', controller: 'AdminCtrl'});  
 }]);

IMO, it is good idea to have the separate controller for both admin and users, unless otherwise you have some special requirement.
