Admin Interface
Admin Interface¶
Users which have staff privileges have access to an Admin interface which provides extremely low level control of the database. Every item in the database is available and this interface provides a convenient option for directly viewing and modifying database objects.
Caution
Admin users should exercise extreme care when modifying data via the admin interface, as performing the wrong action may have unintended consequences!
The admin interface allows staff users the ability to directly view / add / edit / delete database entries according to their user permissions.

To access the admin interface, select the "Admin" option from the drop-down user menu in the top-right corner of the screen.
