# Admin Panel

> Organization, module and health monitoring for system admins.

## Overview

The Admin Panel is a control area reserved for the system administrators who manage the entire platform. While an ordinary organization administrator sees only their own organization, a system administrator monitors every organization, user and the overall system state on the platform from a single place. This panel is not where daily work happens; it is a management center that watches over the platform's healthy and orderly operation.

The panel is made up of several sections. The Organizations section lists all the workspaces on the platform; the Users section shows every account; the System Health section provides a summary of the platform's overall health; Modules and the module matrix show which capability is enabled where; and Workflow monitoring tracks how automated processes are progressing. This gives the administrator a holistic view of every layer of the platform.

Only people with system-administrator authority can access this panel. Users without that authority cannot see the panel, which keeps the platform's most sensitive controls protected.

## Who uses it

- **System administrators:** The people responsible for the entire platform. They oversee organization onboarding, manage user accounts, monitor system health and adjust module access across the platform.
- **Platform operations team:** Track whether workflows are running correctly, restart or cancel stuck processes, and report on overall status.
- **Organization administrators (indirectly):** Do not access this panel, but the onboarding of their organization and the definition of its module access happen through it.

## Step-by-step process

1. **Enter the Admin Panel.** If you have system-administrator authority you can reach the System Administration section. Without that authority the section is invisible to you.
2. **Review organizations.** In the Organizations section, see all the workspaces on the platform, their statuses and member counts. An inactive organization is marked here with a status indicator.
3. **Manage users.** In the Users section, search accounts; when needed, temporarily suspend a user or reactivate them. These actions can only be performed by a system administrator.
4. **Monitor system health.** In the System Health section, review a summary of the platform's overall health, user and organization counts, and loaded modules.
5. **Adjust module access.** In the Modules and module matrix sections, see which organization can access which module and manage the platform-wide defaults.
6. **Track workflows.** In the Workflow monitoring section, see the state of automated processes; restart a stuck process or cancel one that is no longer needed.

Each of these sections is presented as easy-to-read lists; the administrator quickly reaches the information they need and performs the required action from a single screen.

## Frequently asked questions

**Who can enter the Admin Panel?**
Only people with system-administrator authority. For users without it the panel is not visible at all, so the platform-wide sensitive controls stay protected.

**What is the difference between an organization administrator and a system administrator?**
An organization administrator manages only their own organization. A system administrator manages every organization, user and the overall system state on the platform; their scope is the entire platform.

**What does it mean to suspend a user?**
A suspended user temporarily cannot access the platform. This is the way to stop access without deleting the account; the user can later be reactivated and their data is preserved.

**What does the System Health section show?**
A summary of the platform's overall health: user and organization counts, active organizations and loaded modules, among others. It lets the administrator understand the platform's overall state at a glance.

**What does workflow monitoring track?**
How the automated processes on the platform are progressing. The administrator can see which processes are running, completed or stuck, and restart or cancel a process when needed.

**What is the module matrix for?**
It shows which organization can access which module in a single overview. The administrator uses this view to easily assess module access across the platform.
