System Manager
Administration Scope
The Administration area is for high-permission users who manage security, page settings, commerce configuration, metadata schema, operational tools and system-wide behaviour.
Use these pages as a starting point for safe administration. Local change-control, backup and support procedures should stay with the system documentation for your own installation.
Important: administration changes can affect access, search, publishing, delivery, commerce and preservation workflows. Make changes deliberately and record what has changed.
Administration Guides
Choose the guide that matches the area you need to manage.
- Security: users, roles and expiry policies.
- Pages, Branding and Commerce: pages, site branding, commerce setup and commerce operations.
- Schema and Controlled Configuration: picklists, subjects, labels, relationships, sort settings, geolocation and search configuration.
- Import and Export: import/export policies, metadata mappings, reports, templates, watermarks and file-type configuration.
- Digital Preservation: preservation policy, integrity checks and preservation results.
- System Settings: content warnings, file locations, preferences, cookie policies and system-level settings.
Work Safely
- Make one deliberate change at a time where possible.
- Check the user-facing impact after each change.
- Record changes that affect access, search, publishing, delivery or preservation.
- Use a test or staging process for unfamiliar configuration changes where available.
- Contact iBase support before changing settings that are unfamiliar or system-critical.
