# Admin The Admin area is the instance-wide side of the panel: nodes, servers, users, eggs, databases, and panel settings all live here. It's only visible to administrators: root admins (accounts with the **Admin** toggle, see [Users](/docs/panel/features/admin/users)) and users granted admin permissions through a [Role](/docs/panel/features/admin/roles). See the [Permissions Reference](/docs/panel/features/dashboard/permissions) for what each admin key covers. The sidebar starts with **Back** (returns to the dashboard) and **Home**, followed by these groups, and the [Quick actions](/docs/panel/features/dashboard#quick-actions) palette (`Ctrl+Space`) jumps to any of these pages by name: ## System | Page | Description | | --- | --- | | [Settings](/docs/panel/features/admin/settings) | Panel-wide configuration, from branding to rate limits | | [Announcements](/docs/panel/features/admin/announcements) | Panel-wide announcement banners | | [Assets](/docs/panel/features/admin/assets) | Public file hosting for the panel, e.g. custom icons and banners | | [Extensions](/docs/panel/features/admin/extensions) | Install and manage panel extensions | ## Infrastructure | Page | Description | | --- | --- | | [Locations](/docs/panel/features/admin/locations) | Group nodes by physical or logical location | | [Nodes](/docs/panel/features/admin/nodes) | The Wings machines your servers run on | | [Servers](/docs/panel/features/admin/servers) | Every server on the panel, from creation to transfers | ## Users & Access | Page | Description | | --- | --- | | [Users](/docs/panel/features/admin/users) | All user accounts on the panel | | [Roles](/docs/panel/features/admin/roles) | Named sets of admin and server permissions | | [OAuth Providers](/docs/panel/features/admin/oauth-providers) | Third-party login and account linking | | [Activity](/docs/panel/features/admin/activity) | Audit log of admin-side actions | ## Nests & Eggs | Page | Description | | --- | --- | | [Nests](/docs/panel/features/admin/nests) | Collections of eggs, the server type definitions | | [Egg Configurations](/docs/panel/features/admin/egg-configurations) | Named, ordered sets of eggs with deployment settings | | [Egg Repositories](/docs/panel/features/admin/egg-repositories) | Git repositories to import eggs from | ## Databases | Page | Description | | --- | --- | | [Database Hosts](/docs/panel/features/admin/database-hosts) | MySQL and PostgreSQL hosts for user-created databases | | [Database Agent Hosts](/docs/panel/features/admin/database-agent-hosts) | Hosts running the [database agent](/docs/db-agent) for managed database instances | | [Database Agent Templates](/docs/panel/features/admin/database-agent-templates) | Templates defining managed database images and resource limits | ## Storage | Page | Description | | --- | --- | | [Mounts](/docs/panel/features/admin/mounts) | Host directories that can be mounted into server containers | | [Backup Configurations](/docs/panel/features/admin/backup-configurations) | Where server backups are stored | | [System Backup Policies](/docs/panel/features/admin/system-backup-policies) | Scheduled automatic server backups with retention, scoped to locations, nodes, or servers | ## Home `/admin` lands on Home, a status dashboard with three tabs: **Overview**, **Updates**, and **Health**. The **Updates** and **Health** tabs require the `stats.read` permission, and so does the content of **Overview**. Whenever a newer panel version is available, a banner at the top links to the upgrade instructions. ### Overview ![](/docs/panel/features/admin/images/home/overview.webp) Three cards: - **System Overview**: CPU model, memory usage (including how much the panel process itself uses), kernel version and architecture, container type (**Official**, **Official AIO**, **Official Heavy**, or **None detected**), PostgreSQL version and database size, cache version, and cache calls/hits/misses with the average cached call latency. - **General Statistics**: how many **Users**, **Servers**, **Locations**, **Nodes**, **Nest Eggs**, **Database Hosts**, **Backup Configurations**, and **Roles** the panel has. - **Backup Statistics**: backup counts for **All Time**, **Today**, **This Week**, and **This Month**, each broken down into total, successful (with size), failed, and deleted. ### Updates ![](/docs/panel/features/admin/images/home/updates.webp) - **Panel Version**: the version you're running versus the latest available, with a **Recheck for Updates** button that re-runs every update check on this tab. - **Version History**: a table of installed versions and when they were installed. The dropdown switches between the panel's history and each extension's. - **Outdated Extensions**: extensions with a newer version available, listing package name, installed and latest version, and the changelog. Extensions that failed the update check are listed separately with their error. - **Outdated Nodes**: nodes running an older Wings version than the latest, including how many failed to check. Requires `nodes.read`. - **Outdated Database Agent Hosts**: the same for database agent hosts. Requires `database-agent-hosts.read`. ### Health ![](/docs/panel/features/admin/images/home/health.webp) - **General Health**: applied database migrations (e.g. `107 / 107 (100.00%)`) and the panel's **Avg. NTP Offset**, highlighted when it climbs above 100 ms. - **Extension Migration Health**: applied versus total migrations per installed extension. - **Debug Mode**: shows whether debug mode is currently enabled, with an **Enable Debug Mode** / **Disable Debug Mode** button (requires `settings.update`). The setting resets to its default when the application restarts. - **Desync Nodes**: nodes whose clock is more than 5 seconds off the panel's clock, which can cause file download and console issues. Ideally this list stays empty.
