Administration¶
Administration is the control center for your ValuePact tenant. Admins manage users, roles, configuration, and security settings to keep the platform aligned with organizational governance.
Who this is for¶
Admin Executive Developer
Prerequisites¶
- Super Admin or Tenant Admin role
- Familiarity with user roles
- Access to the Admin workspace in the top navigation
What admins control¶
| Area | What you can do | Canonical path |
|---|---|---|
| User Management | Invite, deactivate, and group users | Admin > User Management |
| Role Management | Create roles and assign permissions | Admin > Role Management |
| Configuration | Branding, fields, workflows, notifications | Admin > Configuration |
| Security | SSO, MFA, password policy, audit logs | Admin > Security |
Admin experience tier¶
The Admin experience tier progressively discloses governance controls. Users with Admin roles see the Admin workspace. Other users do not.
- Standard users see simplified flows.
- Advanced users see modeling and inspection tools.
- Admin users see governance and tenant configuration.
Step-by-step: switch to the Admin workspace¶
- Click your avatar in the top-right corner.
- Select Switch to Admin from the dropdown.
- If you do not see the option, confirm your role includes Admin privileges.

Limits and guardrails¶

Limit Configuration changes apply immediately. There is no staging environment for tenant settings.
Limit Audit logs are retained for 90 days by default. Extend retention in Security > Audit Logs.
Troubleshooting¶
Issue: Admin workspace is not visible
Cause: Your role does not include Admin privileges, or your session tier is set to Standard. Resolution: Ask a Tenant Admin to verify your role. Toggle your experience tier to Advanced or Admin in your profile settings.
Issue: configuration change did not take effect
Cause: Some settings require a browser refresh or depend on a background sync. Resolution: Refresh the page. Wait up to 60 seconds for cached settings to invalidate.
Issue: unable to assign a Super Admin role
Cause: Only existing Super Admins can promote others to Super Admin. Resolution: Contact an existing Super Admin in your organization. If none are available, file a support ticket with legal authorization.
