The admin panel is a tab inside the inventory for staff.
It manages items, rarities, players, history, security, shops, stashes, crafting benches, clothing and translations, and every change applies live, without a restart.

## Opening it

- Type `/invadmin`, or `/invadmin <page>` to jump straight to a page.
- Or open the inventory and pick the **ADMIN PANEL** tab; staff are the only ones who see it.
- Optionally bind a key with `admin.key` in `data/obsi/admin.lua`, for example `'F10'`.

Who sees which page is set on the [Permissions](/inventory/admin/permissions) page.

:::hint{type="info" title="Saved in the database"}
Whatever you change in the panel is stored in the `obsi_inv_*` tables and wins over the values in the data files.
The files are only the defaults.

### Items

Every item definition, from `data/items.lua` and created in the panel.

The item editor covers identity, image, inventory rules (weight, stacking, durability, unique, close on use), use settings (time, animation, prop, status effects), rarity and throwing, with a live preview of the slot.

### Edit Rarity

Names, colours and discovery times of each rarity.
See [Items and rarity](/inventory/features/items-and-rarity#rarity).

### Crafting benches

Create benches and edit their recipes, ingredients, times and locations.

### Players

Every online player with their weight and slots.
Open a player to see their live inventory, then edit, give or remove items.

:::frame{caption="Online players"}
![Players](/media/inventory/admin-players.webp)
:::

### History

Every inventory action, filterable by player, action, item and time range.
**Track item** follows one item, or one serial number, through every hand it passed.

:::frame{caption="History"}
![History](/media/inventory/admin-history.webp)
:::

Logged actions include opening and closing, moves, gives, drops, pickups, purchases, crafting, trades, throws, renames, clothing changes and every admin edit.
Rows older than `history.retentionDays` (30 days) are deleted automatically.

### Security

Suspicious actions reported by the server: malformed requests, moves into locked slots, opening or dropping from too far away and other exploit attempts.
The page also lists registered hooks and events, and holds the **emergency lock**, which blocks every inventory from opening until you lift it.

:::frame{caption="Security center"}
![Security](/media/inventory/admin-security.webp)
:::

### Shops, Stashes, World containers

Create and edit shops (products, payment, locations, blips, access) and stashes (slots, weight, owner, groups).
**World containers** controls dumpsters and trunks, including the search animation.

:::frame{caption="Shops"}
![Shops](/media/inventory/admin-shops.webp)
:::

### Clothing

Clothing settings and the clothing slots.

### Permissions

Roles and staff; see [Permissions](/inventory/admin/permissions).

### Locales

Every string of the inventory, editable live.
Import and export a whole language as JSON.
