Administration
The Administration area is where a Super User configures the Informer server: system settings, who can sign in, how the product is branded, and how it is kept healthy. A left rail groups everything into a handful of sections so the right control is easy to find.
What lives in Administration
| Section | What it covers |
|---|---|
| System | The Settings landing page (build, license, and the configurable options), plus AI, Billing, email, auditing, SSH Tunnels, Search Clusters, and System Health. |
| Authentication | How people and machines get in: API Tokens, OAuth Client Apps, sign-in Domains (AD, LDAP, SAML), connected IntegrationA connection from Informer to an external service such as Google Drive, Gmail, or Salesforce, used by Apps, chats, and jobs to act on your behalf.s, and Sessions. |
| Customization | Tailoring Informer to your organization: Codes, Features, Global Colors, Letterheads, Saved Functions, Theme, and User Fields. |
| Maintenance | Keeping the server running: Job Workers, the Request and Console logs, log settings, and Bundles. |
| Multitenancy | Running multiple isolated Tenants from a single Manager Tenant. |
| Appendix | Reference topics: a common email error and how Informer cleans up ElasticSearch indices. |
Most of Administration is limited to Super Users, and some entries appear only when the matching license or deployment applies (Tenants on multi-tenant installations, Search Clusters on the home manager tenant, and so on).
