Admin
Where is my data ?
This is a recurring question when you create web applications from scratch or using a web framework. That's why Strapi provides a ready-to-use admin panel.
Dashboard
This part is a summary of your application.
Work in progress.
Data Explorer
The Data Explorer allows you to easily manage your data.
The UI is auto-generated depending on the models
of your application.
So, in just a few seconds, you are able to create, search, view, edit and
delete your data.
To try it, simply create a new API using the Studio or the CLI. Then restart the server and reload the web browser page.
Users
List of Users
List, edit and delete the users information of your application.
Roles
Each user can be related to one or many roles.
The first registered user is automatically related to the admin
role.
Permissions
Strapi contains a security system based on the routes of your application. The admin panel allows you to visualize the different routes of your server and to manage the security of each of them.
Public
: no level of security (anyone can use the route).Registered
: the user has to be logged to use the route.Owner
: the user must be one of thecontributors
of themodel
updated or deleted.Admin
: only the users related to theadmin
role are allowed to access the route.
Customization
The admin panel is developed with Angular.js, using the John PAPA styleguide.
You can customize the admin from ./api/admin/public
in your generated application.
To build the admin panel:
- You need to install
bower
andgulp
with$ npm install gulp bower -g
. - Run
$ npm install
in this directory. - Run
$ gulp serve
. - Visit http://localhost:3002 from your web browser.
- When you are ready to use your customized admin panel, run
$ gulp dist
. That will update the files in the following folder:./api/admin/public/dist
. - Visit http://localhost:1337/admin/.
If you change the default port (1337) of your server, you will have to update
./api/admin/public/config/config.json
and then run $ npm install && gulp dist
in ./api/admin/public
.
NOTE: You can create your own admin
generator using the .strapirc
file.
