Administration guide

So, you have a working Mastodon instance... now what?

Administration web interface

A user that is designated as admin = TRUE in the database is able to access a suite of administration tools:

Site settings

Your site settings are stored in the settings database table, and editable through the admin interface at https://yourmastodon.instance/admin/settings.

You are able to set the following settings:

  • Contact username
  • Contact email
  • Site description
  • Site extended description

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).
