Administration Panel

6 min read

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.

Visibility levels, new in v2.0.0 (v1.9.x had a single enterprise/non-enterprise flag):

LevelWho sees the item
publicEvery 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.
adminSame audience as public today. The label marks the item as admin-scoped; it does not narrow visibility any further than public currently does.
system adminSystem Administrators only
enterpriseOnly when an enterprise licence is active
Info
A 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.
Tip
Menu 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.

Where to start

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.

  1. First login — confirm the default admin and set the language and branding.
  2. Create your organization — the multi-tenant data boundary.
  3. Connect SSO / LDAP — federate login to your IdP or directory.
  4. Add a repository / connector — register a Git source for extensions and apps.
  5. Build your first application — predict an app from your data model.
For day-to-day operations on an already-provisioned CYPEX instance, the procedures live in the Organizations setup guide (create / edit / disable orgs, assign users, configure Schema Access). The admin pages under this section are the GUI reference for each menu entry — pick the one you need from the Pages in this section list below.

Pages in this section

The admin panel sections follow the production admin sidebar. Each link opens the topic page for the corresponding sidebar entry.

  1. Setup guide — first-run walkthrough for a new CYPEX deployment.
  2. Dashboard — the landing screen after login, including the in-product Setup Guide.
  3. Builder
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. Data & Content
  8. Monitor & Audit
  9. Platform Admin
  10. Extensions — install SQL fragments from a repository.
