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 — two steps: their profile, then 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 — a server-wide inbox of user-submitted content reports (every community’s, filterable by status) with a resolve/dismiss workflow. Appeals are not here: they are community-scoped and handled by community moderators in the community settings modal — see Moderation.
- 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.
