  1. Administration guide
  2. ====================
  3. So, you have a working Mastodon instance... now what?
  4. ## Turning into an admin
  5. The following rake task:
  6. rails mastodon:make_admin USERNAME=alice
  7. Would turn the local user "alice" into an admin.
  8. ## Administration web interface
  9. A user that is designated as `admin = TRUE` in the database is able to access a suite of administration tools:
  10. * View, edit, silence, or suspend users - https://yourmastodon.instance/admin/accounts
  11. * View PubSubHubbub subscriptions - https://yourmastodon.instance/admin/pubsubhubbub
  12. * View domain blocks - https://yourmastodon.instance/admin/domain_blocks
  13. * Sidekiq dashboard - https://yourmastodon.instance/sidekiq
  14. * PGHero dashboard for PostgreSQL - https://yourmastodon.instance/pghero
  15. * Edit site settings - https://yourmastodon.instance/admin/settings
  16. ## Site settings
  17. Your site settings are stored in the `settings` database table, and editable through the admin interface at https://yourmastodon.instance/admin/settings.
  18. You are able to set the following settings:
  19. - Site title
  20. - Contact username
  21. - Contact email
  22. - Site description
  23. - Site extended description
  24. 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).
