Administration Overview¶
The Emakin Administration page serves as a centralized interface for managing various aspects of your domain. Access to this page is exclusively restricted to authorized administrator users. All administrative tasks are facilitated and managed through pre-built business processes, ensuring a structured and auditable approach to system governance.
The following administrative functions are accessible from the Administration page:
- Audit Log Search: Provides functionality to perform audit log searches, enabling the monitoring and review of user activities within the system.
- Database Schema Editor: Offers tools to edit database schemas and tables, and to browse their contents directly.
- Edit Credentials: Allows for the definition and management of credentials for external systems, including passwords, API keys, and connection strings.
- Edit Domain: Facilitates the modification of general domain properties, such as appearance settings, business calendar rules, operational policies, and security regulations.
- Edit Screens: Enables the customization of the left navigation menu, as well as the design of custom dashboards and screens.
- Edit Groups: Provides capabilities to manage user groups and their respective memberships.
- Background Jobs Manager: Allows administrators to monitor the background job queue and update the states of various jobs.
- Organization Database Designer: Offers tools to edit and manage the organizational database, including departments, positions, and user records.
- Search Work Item: Enables searching for user work items and provides options to terminate or re-assign them.
Administration Permissions¶
By default, the System Administrators group is granted all permissions across the system. However, these permissions can be granularly restricted or delegated using the "Edit Groups" panel.
System administration tasks can be assigned to other users who are not members of the System Administrator group by modifying the permissions associated with their respective groups via the "Edit Groups" panel.
Permissions for each administrative panel are defined as follows:
| Administration Task | Permission Identifier |
|---|---|
| Audit Log Search | audit_search |
| Database Schema Editor | database_manage |
| Edit Credentials | domain_cred |
| Edit Domain | domain_write |
| Edit Screens | domain_screens |
| Edit Groups | groups_write |
| Background Jobs Manager | jobs_write |
| Organization Database Designer | organization_write |
| Search Work Item | workitem_search |
By assigning these specific permission identifiers to custom groups, you can enable other users to perform designated administration tasks without elevating them to full system administrator privileges.
System Monitoring Dashboard¶
A dedicated system monitoring dashboard offers a comprehensive overview of critical system metrics. This includes the status of work items, instance counts, and information regarding active jobs. For an in-depth description of the dashboard's functionality and the metrics it presents, please refer to System Statistics.
