Admin Panel
Admin Panel
In an Admin Panel, rights refer to the permissions and privileges that are granted to users or roles in order to access and perform certain actions within the dashboard. These rights can be set and customized by the administrator or owner of the dashboard in order to control who can view, edit, create, or delete content and settings.
Administrator may set rights that allow certain users to view and edit all content and settings within the dashboard, while restricting others to only view or edit specific sections. Additionally, rights may also include the ability to create new users, assign roles and permissions, and manage other administrative tasks within the dashboard.
Admin Dashboard is to ensure that sensitive information and critical functions are only accessible to authorized personnel, while also providing a way to manage and track user activity within the system.
