====== Admin console overview ======

The operations console is the control room for race programmes. Open it from *//Admin login//* after your credentials are accepted.

===== Super-admin sidebar =====

^ Menu ^| Purpose ^
| *//Dashboard//* | Programme snapshot, signup counts, shortcuts to public demos |
| *//Card studio//* | Global default card theme |
| *//Memberships//* | All membership applications |
| *//Membership billing//* | Billing settings and plans (where enabled) |
| *//Showroom//* | Manage cars listed on the public showroom |
| *//Store requests//* | Incoming parts reservations |
| *//Parts catalog//* | Programme-wide or team catalogue maintenance |
| *//Teams//* | Register teams, hostnames, programme flags |
| *//Team roster//* | Staff linked to logistics and crew pickers |
| *//Staff resources//* | Live workshop / paddock presence |
| *//Race projects//* | Weekend logistics (events, crew, hotels, sessions) |
| *//Tracks catalogue//* | Circuit layouts used in logistics |
| *//Scrutineering//* | Event passes and scrutineer handoff |
| *//Car management//* | Clients, cars, documents, race bookings |
| *//Site editor//* | Programme marketing pages (super-admin scope) |


===== Team admin home =====

Team users see a *//tile dashboard//* instead of the full super-admin list:

- *//Race weekends//* — logistics and briefing packs
- *//Cars & customers//* — car management
- *//Parts catalog//// / ////Price requests//* — store
- *//Membership cards//* — card studio for your team only
- *//Team roster//* — who appears in crew lists
- *//Staff resources//* — who is on which car
- *//Website editor//* — your team’s public microsite pages and colours

Restricted logins see only the tiles your administrator enabled.

===== Language in the console =====

Use the *//language//* control in the admin top bar. All labels follow the same locale files as the public site.

===== Good practice =====

- Use *//one browser profile//* per role on shared PCs (avoid mixing super-admin and team tabs).
- After editing *//logistics//// or ////cars////, confirm crew-facing ////briefing//* links still work before the event.
- Export or screenshot critical weekend packs if you need an offline backup — the platform is the source of truth, but circuits lose signal.
