Administration guide
====================
So, you have a working Mastodon instance... now what?
## Turning into an admin
The following rake task:
RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rails mastodon:make_admin USERNAME=alice
Would turn the local user "alice" into an admin.
## Administration web interface
A user that is designated as `admin = TRUE` in the database is able to access a suite of administration tools:
* View, edit, silence, or suspend users - https://yourmastodon.instance/admin/accounts
* View PubSubHubbub subscriptions - https://yourmastodon.instance/admin/pubsubhubbub
* View domain blocks - https://yourmastodon.instance/admin/domain_blocks
* Sidekiq dashboard - https://yourmastodon.instance/sidekiq
* PGHero dashboard for PostgreSQL - https://yourmastodon.instance/pghero
* Edit site settings - https://yourmastodon.instance/admin/settings
## Site settings
Your site settings are stored in the `settings` database table, and editable through the admin interface at https://yourmastodon.instance/admin/settings.
You are able to set the following settings:
- Site title
- Contact username
- Contact email
- Site description
- Site extended description
You may wish to use the extended description (shown at https://yourmastodon.instance/about/more ) to display content guidelines or a user agreement (see https://mastodon.social/about/more for an example).
## Confirming Users Manually
The following rake task:
RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rails mastodon:confirm_email USER_EMAIL=alice@alice.com
Will confirm a user manually, in case they don't have access to their confirmation email for whatever reason.
