Administration

Admin panel

The /admin console — server settings, users, communities, reports, webhooks, audit log and health.

Server administration happens in the web client at /admin, available to accounts with the global admin role. Nearly every runtime knob lives in the database-backed settings registry edited here — changes apply immediately, no restarts, no env editing.

On a fresh install, the admin’s first login opens the setup wizard — a guided pass through server identity, the first community, mail and a test email. Anything left unconfigured keeps a banner (and a red dot on the user menu) alive until it’s done. Regular users get their own lightweight welcome wizard on first login: profile, language, and communities to join.

The bigger areas have their own pages:

The other pages

  • Settings — the registry, grouped in tabs. See Server settings for the tour.
  • Communities — all communities on the server, incl. ones you’re not a member of: edit metadata, delete.
  • Reports — user-submitted content reports with resolve/dismiss workflow and appeals handling.
  • Audit log — who changed what, admin actions across the server.
  • Health — live probes of the database, cache, search index and realtime hub, plus system resource metrics — see Operations.
