Administering an instance

For administrators: people, roles and permissions.

• RolesRights belong to a role. Whoever should be allowed to do something becomes a member.
• People, groups, invitationsWho the instance knows, what a person may do, how groups get roles and how you assign someone before their first sign-in.
• Granting rightsWhat a role may do is set on its Rights tab: collections, buckets, capabilities and tools.
• ContextsA context splits the rows of a collection by one attribute. Groups see the rows with their values.
• StructureCreate collections, add and deprecate fields, look after indexes. What is created stays.
• Carrying overWhat was built in the practice room reaches production only when you apply it.
• ToolsPublish the draft, release a tool to a role, name an owner and look at errors.
• PackagesA package carries tools and structure from one instance to another. Data and permissions stay behind.
• BackupWhen the instance backs up, what a backup contains and what holds when you restore.
• Audit logSee who changed and read what, and find purpose and retention of all collections on one page.
