MDM Web App Admin Center
The Admin Center is an administration interface allowing you to monitor, manage, and configure server operations.
It is available at the /admin endpoint on the MDM Web App server URL.
You can also access it from the MDM Web Application main navigation if you have view permissions or higher.
Access
There are several levels of access in the Admin Center:
-
No access: Users can log in but cannot view any information or make changes.
-
View-only access: Users can view available information including details about running operations and the server setup but cannot perform any actions or change settings.
-
Full access: Users can view available information including details about running operations and the server setup, perform any actions, or change any settings.
-
Manager access: Users have all the permissions of full access, and additionally can stop and start the MDM server and clone Git repositories.
| Access permissions are configured in the MDM Server Application Properties. |
Limited access to Admin Center
If the server fails to start due to configuration issues or missing lookup files, a limited version of the Admin Center opens, showing more information about the cause of the failure.
You can start the server or reset the environment after fixing the issue, as well as clone the configuration repository or fetch and apply the newest configuration. After this, you can start the server again.
To learn more about these actions, see MDM Web App Admin Center > Server Dashboard.
Navigation
The MDM Web App Admin Center consists of four key areas:
- Interfaces
-
View and execute batch operations, stream consumers, and event handlers, as well as view defined native services.
- Monitoring
-
Track various task and operation executions, retrieve database logs and configuration, and temporarily edit some logging settings.

Server status indicators
The navigation panel can display one of the following statuses:

HA Mode (Read-Only): MDM is running in high availability mode and the Admin Center has been accessed in a read-only node. You should be redirected to the read-write node automatically.
