Admin panel overview

A map of the MagicPost admin sidebar: what each section controls and which page of this documentation explains it.

The admin panel is the part of MagicPost that only accounts in the Admin group can open. Every admin screen lives under APP_URL/app/admin/, and the first one you land on is the Admin dashboard.

Admin accounts see one sidebar with two menus. The personal menu at the top (Home, Notifications, Publishing, Library, Workspace, Help) is the same product your customers use, so you can publish with your own account. The admin items follow below it.

Items under Finance, Affiliates and the Plans group of the personal menu only appear after SaaS Business is switched on. See SaaS overview.
