Admin Panel
Monitor your platform's users, revenue, and analytics, and manage system settings from the admin panel.
Overview
The admin panel provides platform-wide visibility and management tools for your Event Schedule installation. It is organized into four areas:
- Dashboard - at-a-glance key metrics for your platform
- Insights - detailed breakdowns of users, revenue, analytics, and usage
- Manage - configure boost settings, newsletters, and (in SaaS mode) plans, domains, and the blog
- System - audit log, background queue, and application logs
Every page in the admin panel supports a date-range filter so you can view data for any time period.
Accessing /admin
The admin panel is available at /admin and is restricted to users whose is_admin column is set to true in the database.
To grant admin access to a user, update the users table directly:
UPDATE users SET is_admin = 1 WHERE email = '[email protected]';Only grant admin access to trusted users. Admins can see all platform data including user details, revenue, and system logs.
