The CYPEX administration panel gives operators a single place to administer and manage CYPEX as a whole. v2.0.0 reorganizes it around how operators actually set up and run a multi-tenant deployment. This section is the navigation map for that information architecture: each entry below links to a topic-scoped page documenting the corresponding admin screen.
The table below is the authoritative list of sidebar labels and who sees each one. Labels are the strings the product renders — use them verbatim in procedures.
| Section | Item | Visibility |
|---|---|---|
| — | Dashboard | public |
| Builder | Database | public |
| Applications | public | |
| Repository Applications | public | |
| Access Control | Roles & Capabilities | admin |
| Users | public | |
| Access Preview | public | |
| Organizations | admin — grouped under the Advanced (System admin) separator for System Administrators; Organization Administrators see it listed directly, without that grouping | |
| Advanced (System admin) — Schema Access | system admin | |
| Authentication | SSO Providers | admin, section is enterprise |
| LDAP | enterprise | |
| Integrations | Connector Execution | system admin, section is enterprise |
| Allowlist | admin, section is enterprise | |
| Credentials | admin, section is enterprise | |
| Connectors | admin, section is enterprise | |
| Data & Content | REST API | public |
| Internal API | system admin | |
| Files | public | |
| User Reports | public | |
| Monitor & Audit | User Audit Trail | public |
| Table Audit History | public | |
| Connector Audit | system admin | |
| Platform Admin | Configuration | system admin |
| Database Migrations | system admin | |
| Storage & Repositories | enterprise, section is system admin | |
| Internal Schema Browser | system admin | |
| Extensions | Extensions | enterprise |
Visibility levels, new in v2.0.0 (v1.9.x had a single enterprise/non-enterprise flag):
| Level | Who sees the item |
|---|---|
public | Every user who can open the admin panel at all — System Administrators and Organization Administrators, independent of licence edition. Organization Members without admin rights cannot open the admin panel, so nothing in it is visible to them. |
admin | Same audience as public today. The label marks the item as admin-scoped; it does not narrow visibility any further than public currently does. |
system admin | System Administrators only |
enterprise | Only when an enterprise licence is active |
InfoA System Administrator and an Organization Administrator see structurally different navigation — this is by design, not a rendering bug. If Authentication or Extensions are missing entirely, check the enterprise licence before debugging configuration. If the whole Platform Admin section is missing — including Storage & Repositories — check the account’s admin tier first: Platform Admin is System-Administrator-only regardless of licence. Once System Administrator access is confirmed, check the enterprise licence for Storage & Repositories specifically.
TipMenu items and page titles carry tooltips that name the underlying PostgreSQL concept — Schema Access explains that module and schema are the same thing, Organizations explains Row-Level Security, Roles & Capabilities explains PostgreSQL roles. Hover before reaching for the glossary.
If this is your first time logging into a fresh CYPEX install, follow the Setup guide. It walks you from first login through to a running first application in five procedures, target completion under 30 minutes.
- First login — confirm the default admin and set the language and branding.
- Create your organization — the multi-tenant data boundary.
- Connect SSO / LDAP — federate login to your IdP or directory.
- Add a repository / connector — register a Git source for extensions and apps.
- Build your first application — predict an app from your data model.
The admin panel sections follow the production admin sidebar. Each link opens the topic page for the corresponding sidebar entry.
- Setup guide — first-run walkthrough for a new CYPEX deployment.
- Dashboard — the landing screen after login, including the in-product Setup Guide.
- Builder
- Database — the ER editor, queries, and workflows.
- Applications — the applications list, create / edit / export / delete.
- Repository Applications — install apps from a Git repo.
- Access Control
- Roles & Capabilities — roles map to PostgreSQL roles; every role now has a type.
- Users — local users mapped to roles and organizations.
- Capabilities vs Data Scope — how role capabilities and organization data scope combine.
- Access Preview — simulate what a user can do and see.
- Organizations — the multi-tenant data boundary. Organization Administrators reach it directly; System Administrators see it grouped under the Advanced (System admin) separator.
- Schema Access — grant schemas (modules) to organizations. System Administrator only.
- Authentication
- SSO Providers — OIDC/OAuth2 federation (Google, Microsoft, or any generic OIDC IdP).
- SSO (architecture) — coexistence with local auth, multi-provider-per-org, and the pending-approval model.
- OIDC setup guide — hands-on: add a provider, sign in, approve a user, and the JWT claim / RLS trace.
- LDAP — directory connection, role-mapping modes, and Active Directory notes.
- Pending and rejected users — the SSO user state diagram, admin approve/reject/un-reject actions, and audit trail.
- Login Settings — branding on the login page.
- Integrations — the platform enforces allowlist → credentials → definition → enablement. Requires an active enterprise licence; without one the whole section is hidden.
- Connector Execution — two-level enablement; ships disabled.
- Allowlist — outbound hosts connectors may call.
- Credentials — envelope-encrypted, organization-scoped secrets.
- Connectors — author, validate, publish immutable versions.
- Connectors (architecture) — the governed external API platform: security model, hardening history, permission audit cross-link.
- Connectors setup guide — hands-on: rollout, allowlist, credentials, the guided builder, publish, execute, and audit.
- Data & Content
- REST API — every query, exposed as a PostgREST endpoint.
- Internal API — system admin-only CYPEX backend API.
- Files — uploaded binary content.
- User Reports — PDF report rendering.
- Monitor & Audit
- User Audit Trail — login activity per user.
- Table Audit History — change history per table.
- Connector Audit — connector execution log, including policy blocks.
- Platform Admin
- Configuration — system admin platform settings.
- Sessions and tokens — the access/refresh token model, session length, and the JWT environment variables.
- Database Migrations — apply framework migrations.
- Storage & Repositories — Git sources for extensions.
- Internal Schema Browser — read-only
cypexschema viewer.
- Extensions — install SQL fragments from a repository.
- Setup guide — first-run walkthrough for new admins.
- Organizations setup guide — operational how-to for org / Schema Access.
