Admin Guides

Use this section to operate and govern the documentation platform in production.

Scope

  • Access control and role governance
  • Platform configuration and security
  • Backup, recovery, and operational checks
  • Change management and maintenance practices

First-time admin checklist

Before onboarding users, complete the following:

  • Configure authentication and admin ownership.
  • Define role boundaries and escalation paths.
  • Validate backup and restore workflow.
  • Enable monitoring and alerting.
  • Document incident response and rollback steps.

Role model

Use least privilege as the default policy.

  • Super Admin: platform ownership and emergency access.
  • Admin: user lifecycle and environment configuration.
  • Editor: content creation and updates.
  • Reviewer: content QA and approvals.
  • Viewer: read-only access.

Operational standards

  • Run access reviews on a defined cadence.
  • Validate build and link health before release.
  • Keep dependencies updated and audited.
  • Record major configuration changes in release notes.

Backup and recovery

At minimum:

  • Keep daily backups of docs and build artifacts.
  • Test restore procedure at least monthly.
  • Store backup credentials separately from primary systems.
  • Maintain a short runbook for incident recovery.

Security baseline

  • Enforce MFA for all privileged accounts.
  • Rotate secrets and API credentials on schedule.
  • Restrict admin endpoints to trusted networks.
  • Audit permission changes and failed authentication events.
