Administration

Admins manage your Capacitor server — people, integrations, and runtime configuration — from one console. This page covers what it is and how it’s organized; the pages under People and Settings cover each area in detail.

What the console is

Section titled “What the console is”

Owners and admins get an Administration item in the avatar menu, top-right. Opening it lands on People → Members.

The console has two areas:

People

Settings

  • Integrations — Slack link-preview credentials and similar.
  • AI Providers — credentials for the server-side eval runner and the embedding service.
  • Evals — settings for evaluations dispatched from the dashboard.
  • Eval Catalog — the question and template library evals draw from.
  • Assistants — assistant configuration for the dashboard.
  • General — server-wide settings that don’t belong to a more specific page.

Who’s an admin

Section titled “Who’s an admin”

Admin status is a role on your organization, not a separate setting: you hold the owner or admin role. The person who signed the organization up is the owner by default. An owner can promote any member to admin — or demote them back to member — from People → Members.

Non-admins don’t see the Administration menu item, and the admin pages 404 for them.

How settings are stored and reload

Section titled “How settings are stored and reload”

Settings entered through the console’s forms are written to the server’s server_settings table. Secrets — API keys, signing secrets, bot tokens — are encrypted at rest.

Most settings consumers use IOptionsMonitor<T>, so changes take effect within seconds of saving. No app restart is needed.
