Administrator Guide
This guide covers administrative capabilities in the Istari Digital Platform. For general user features (systems, files, jobs, sharing), see the User Guide.
Prerequisites
- You need organization administrator access (customer admin) for every section in this guide. Your organization owner grants this role — see Granting admin access for IT administrators.
- Open the admin area from the Admin shield icon in the sidebar footer (or go to
/admin). The avatar menu does not include a separate admin entry. The Admin icon appears only for organization administrators. - If you do not see the Admin icon, contact your organization owner.
Admin Panel Overview
- Click the Admin shield icon in the sidebar footer (or navigate to
/admin). - The admin area opens with a left sidebar listing admin sections and a main panel for the selected page. Visiting
/adminalone redirects to Users.
Every admin section requires organization administrator access. The Visibility column notes when a section also depends on a feature being enabled for your deployment — if the requirement is not met, the item does not appear in the admin sidebar.
| Section | Description | Route | Visibility |
|---|---|---|---|
| Users | Manage organization users, invitations, permissions, and control tag assignments | /admin/users | Organization administrators |
| Control Tags | Create, edit, and archive control tags | /admin/control-tags | Organization administrators |
| Infosec Levels | Enable and configure information security classification | /admin/infosec | Organization administrators; infosec enabled for deployment |
| App Integrations | Configure third-party app connections (Google Drive, Windchill, etc.) | /admin/integrations | Organization administrators |
| Encryption Keys | Manage the RSA public key for encrypting function credentials | /admin/encryption | Organization administrators |
| Secure Connections | Configure inbound and outbound data channels with partner registries | /admin/secure-connections | Organization administrators |
| Usage Metrics | Download organization usage data as CSV for a chosen date range | /admin/usage | Organization administrators |
| Compatibility | Monitor server and agent API compatibility | /admin/compatibility | Organization administrators |
Use the sidebar to switch between admin sections. The Admin breadcrumb links to /admin, which opens Users by default.
Agents (configure tokens and manage agents) live under Agents in the main app sidebar at /agents, not under the admin hub. That entry is also visible to organization administrators only. Legacy URLs /admin/agent and /admin/agent-management redirect there.
