On-prem customers can create admin users to manage their Tonic instance. Admin privileges should be limited to a small number of high trust users.
Administrators have the following abilities:
Access the Admin Panel to:
Manage the Tonic instance, including to Update to the newest version of Tonic
View all Tonic users and manage Admin Users
View summary usage metrics for your Tonic instance
View and share all created workspaces
Setting up admin users
Set up new admin users by adding variables to your environment configuration.
Configured Admins will see an Admin badge in the app next to their name in the top right menu.
Note: These users do not have to exist in the app at the time of environment configuration, and will not be created as app users during Admin configuration. When users with these emails are created in the app, they will be granted Admin access.
Docker Deployments
Update your .env file to include the email(s) of the Tonic users who should be given administrator access.
Note: The docker-compose.yaml should contain the TONIC_ADMINISTRATORS variable within the tonic_web_server configuration block. If not, please pull the newest version.
Kubernetes Deployments
In the values.yaml file edit the administrators line to include the email(s) of the Tonic users who should be given administrator access.
Note: Ensure you have the required version of the Helm charts by confirming the values.yaml contains the administrators line. The tonic-web-server-deployment.yamlshould contain the block around the TONIC_ADMINISTRATORS variable. If not, please pull the newest version from our Github repo.
