Administrator guide

Audience: AFCT system administrators

Administrator access is controlled by the global administrator setting on a user account. It is separate from course roles. An administrator can also be enrolled as Faculty or a TA in a course, and both sets of permissions apply.

The Admin Menu contains the platform-wide tools:

Page	What it is for
Courses	Create, duplicate, archive, restore, and delete courses.
Development Tests	Check interface components that are available only in development builds.
Submission Logs	Review and rerun submissions across courses.
System Logs	Search the system audit trail and export records.
System Settings	Configure accounts, uploads, the evaluator, backups, security, TLS, and updates.
System Status	Check the server, database, Docker, network, sessions, and uploaded files.
User Accounts	Create, import, edit, disable, and delete accounts.

warning

Administrator actions affect the entire AFCT installation. Review the target and confirmation message carefully before deleting a course, deleting an account, removing an abandoned file, or restoring an older application version.

See Roles and permissions for the authorization model. Deployment and command-line maintenance remain under Operations.
