Administration tasks

Use these procedures to configure the application, govern access, maintain reference data, and verify administrative changes without exposing credentials.

Administration task example — inspect roles before changing access
Administration task example — inspect roles before changing access. Access Control → Roles exposes exact capability keys and distinguishes built-in roles. Use the access-control recipe below when the task is authorization; provider, connection, and reference changes have separate recipes and permissions. This local catalog was inspected only, with no user or role changes. Synthetic example data; names, identifiers and measurements do not describe a live tenant. View full-size screenshot.

How to choose an administration task

Prerequisites

  • Sign in and confirm that the required product permission is present.
  • Record the current state before changing settings.
  • Keep credential values in an approved secret store, not in tickets, screenshots, or documentation.

Frontend Route

Open /admin, then select the required administration card.

Steps

  1. Choose the page that matches the intended outcome:
  2. Follow the exact route, permission, verification, and rollback guidance on that page.
  3. Review the Audit Log after a write.

Expected result

The selected task opens at the correct frontend route and the operator knows its permission and safety boundary before making a change.

Verification

Confirm the route in the browser and verify that the page heading matches the intended admin area.

Safety and rollback

Prefer disable, preview, test, and reset controls over deletion. Secrets are masked or write-only on supported forms: a stored value is not evidence that it remains valid. Take a backup before broad changes.

Troubleshooting

Symptom Resolution
A card or action is absent Confirm the signed-in user’s effective permission and active role.
A save is rejected Review inline validation and change only visible, supported fields.
A credential field is blank while editing This commonly represents a stored write-only value; do not paste it into logs. Enter a new value only to rotate it.
