The Control Panel is your central hub for administering your self-hosted Rallly instance. From here, you can manage users, activate your license, and configure instance-specific settings.
|
|
|
|
To access the Control Panel:
|
|
|
|
1. Ensure your Rallly instance is running.
|
|
2. Open your web browser and navigate to `/control-panel`.
|
|
3. You may be prompted to log in if you haven't already. Only users with administrative privileges can access the Control Panel features.
|
|
|
|
## Claiming Initial Admin Rights
|
|
|
|
The first user designated as an administrator needs to manually claim their admin role. This user is specified by the `INITIAL_ADMIN_EMAIL` environment variable during setup (see [Configuration](/self-hosting/configuration)).
|
|
|
|
To claim admin rights:
|
|
|
|
1. Ensure the user account associated with the `INITIAL_ADMIN_EMAIL` has been created (e.g., by logging in once).
|
|
2. Navigate to the Control Panel: `/control-panel`.
|
|
3. If you are the user specified in `INITIAL_ADMIN_EMAIL` and have not yet claimed admin rights, you should see a section or button prompting you to "Make me an admin".
|
|
4. Click this button to elevate your account to an administrator.
|
|
|
|
Once claimed, this user can manage other users and settings.
