Once a udServer is installed and running, server-wide administration is done from the Admin console in the web interface. This is where you configure the server, manage users and organisations across the whole instance, review analytics and system logs, and set up integrations such as OAuth providers and webhooks.
The Admin console is available from the user menu to any account that holds the Admin global permission. Accounts without it cannot open the console at all.
Within the console, each section is further gated by an additional global permission, so you can grant a team member access to only the areas they need:
| Section | Required Global Permission | Covered in |
|---|---|---|
| Analytics dashboard | Analytics | Analytics & System Log |
| Users | User List (editing permissions also needs User Edit) | Users & Organisations |
| Organisations | Org List | Users & Organisations |
| Server Config | Server Config | Server Configuration |
| OAuth Providers | Server Config | OAuth Setup |
| Webhooks | Server Config | Webhooks |
| System Log | Analytics | Analytics & System Log |
Global permissions apply across the entire server, independently of any organisation membership. They are assigned per user from the Users page.
| Permission | Grants |
|---|---|
| Admin | Access to the Admin console. Required before any other global permission has an effect in the UI. |
| User List | View the list of all registered users. |
| User Edit | Edit other users' profiles and global permissions, and deactivate or reactivate accounts. |
| Org List | View all organisations registered on the server. |
| Server Config | Edit server configuration, manage OAuth providers and webhooks, and apply licenses. |
| Analytics | View the analytics dashboard and the system log. |
Note: A server administrator can only grant permissions they themselves hold. The permission editor disables any permission you do not have, so you cannot escalate another account beyond your own access.
The first administrator is established during initial setup — see Generic Installation and OAuth Setup. After that, administrators grant access to others from the Users page.
Several pages in the console (Users, Organisations) display personally identifiable information such as names and email addresses. Handle this data in accordance with your privacy policy and applicable regulations (GDPR, CCPA, etc.).
