Admin Guide

Who is the Admin Guide for?

The Admin Guide is designed for team administrators and platform operators who manage WorkClaw deployments. Whether you are responsible for rolling out new agent configurations, monitoring runtime health, or choosing a deploy strategy that minimizes downtime, this section provides the operational knowledge you need.

If you are looking for day-to-day agent configuration such as identity, personality, or skills, start with Agent Configuration instead.

What does the admin panel cover?

The admin panel gives you control over the operational lifecycle of your Claws. From the admin area you can:

• Trigger and manage deployments -- push new agent configurations to your runtimes with full rollback support. See Deployment Management.
• Inspect builds -- every deployment starts with a build. The Build System section explains how builds are created, what they contain, and how to troubleshoot failures.
• Monitor agent health -- real-time observability into runtime status, container metrics, and error rates. See Monitoring & Observability.
• Choose a deploy strategy -- pick the rollout pattern that fits your risk tolerance, from zero-downtime blue/green to gradual rolling and batched approaches. See Deploy Strategies.

How do admin permissions work?

Only team members with the Admin or Owner role can access the admin panel. Standard members can view deployment status but cannot trigger deployments or change strategies. Role management is covered in Roles & Permissions.

What should I read first?

If you are setting up your first deployment, start with Deployment Management and Build System. If your agents are already running and you want visibility into their health, jump to Monitoring & Observability. For teams scaling to multiple runtimes, Deploy Strategies will help you choose the right rollout approach.
