# What is the admin panel?
|
|
|
|
The admin panel is a CRUD interface generated via the
|
|
[Administrate gem](https://github.com/thoughtbot/administrate). In production,
|
|
this is generally not used often and will be deprecated in favor of the internal
|
|
panel (`http://localhost:3000/internal/*`). For more details, see
|
|
[the internal guide](/internal).
|
|
|
|
# Accessing the admin panel
|
|
|
|
There is an admin panel located at <http://localhost:3000/admin>.
|
|
|
|
To access the panel, you must be logged with a user with the `admin` role
|
|
activated.
|
|
|
|
To activate such a role, you can follow these instructions:
|
|
|
|
- open the Rails console
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
rails console
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
1. load the user object of for _bob_ (or whatever the username is)
|
|
|
|
```ruby
|
|
Loading development environment (Rails 5.2.3)
|
|
[1] pry(main)> user = User.find_by(username: "bob")
|
|
[2] pry(main)> user.add_role(:super_admin)
|
|
[3] pry(main)> user.save!
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now you'll be able to access the
|
|
[administration panel](http://localhost:3000/admin).
