Admin Settings
The Admin Dashboard is the operator surface for managing CAIPE UI behavior,
access, metrics, and policy controls. Admin settings are available from the
Admin tab in the main navigation and are grouped so operators can find
routine tasks without scanning a long row of unrelated tabs.
Admin Dashboard Sections
The top-level Admin Dashboard categories are:
| Category | Tabs | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
System | Default Agent, AI Review, Skills | Configure core CAIPE behavior and system-level agent features. |
Users & Teams | Users, Teams | Review users, assign roles, and manage collaboration groups. |
Insights | Feedback, NPS, Statistics | Inspect user feedback, satisfaction trends, and product usage. |
Metrics & Health | Metrics, Health | Check platform telemetry and service health. |
Security & Policy | Audit Logs, Policy | Review administrative activity and policy controls. |
Some tabs only appear when the related feature is enabled or when the current user has full admin access. Read-only admin viewers can inspect supported dashboard areas but cannot save administrative changes.
Default Agent
System → Default Agent controls which agent opens when a user starts a new
chat. This setting is useful when an installation wants new conversations to
start with a specialized dynamic agent instead of the supervisor.
The selector always includes Default CAIPE Supervisor. Choosing this option
means new chats use the built-in supervisor flow rather than a dynamic agent.
When dynamic agents are available, each registered agent appears in the same
selector. Choosing one and clicking Save stores that agent as the runtime
default for new chats.
Precedence
The runtime admin setting takes precedence over bootstrap configuration:
- If an admin saves a default agent in the UI, CAIPE uses that persisted value.
- If no UI value has been saved, CAIPE can fall back to the
DEFAULT_AGENT_IDdeployment value. - If neither is configured, new chats use
Default CAIPE Supervisor.
When CAIPE is currently using DEFAULT_AGENT_ID, the UI displays a note that
saving from the Admin Dashboard will override the bootstrap default at runtime.
Missing Agents
If a previously saved default dynamic agent is no longer available, the
Default Agent panel warns administrators and new chats fall back to the
supervisor. Pick another available agent or choose Default CAIPE Supervisor
and save to clear the stale runtime setting.
Access Control
Only full admins can change the Default Agent setting. Non-admin or read-only
admin users can view the configured value, but the selector is disabled and
the Save action is hidden.
Admin access is determined by the UI authentication and role configuration. For SSO-enabled deployments, role and view access come from configured identity groups. In local or no-SSO development, avoid granting anonymous admin access unless the environment explicitly requires it.
