Admin Panel

Reference guides and how-tos for FileRise core and Pro.

Last updated Jan 18, 2026
On this page

The Admin Panel is where you manage users, folder access, authentication, integrations, and system settings. Only admin accounts can open it.

Access

  • Open the Admin Panel from the top-right menu in the FileRise UI.
  • Some controls are locked when an environment variable or config.php constant is set.
  • Pro-only sections show a "Pro" badge when the bundle is not active.
  • Use the Search button in the Admin Panel header to reveal the settings search box, then filter sections and settings.

Sections and options

Users & Access

  • Manage users: add users, remove users, reset passwords.
  • Account-level flags (apply across all folders):
    • Read-only: view/download only.
    • Disable upload: blocks uploads.
    • Can share: allow share links (still subject to ACLs).
    • Bypass ownership: relax owner-only restrictions for the user.
  • Folder Access: per-folder ACLs (view, view own, create file, upload, edit, rename, copy, move, delete, extract, share, manage).
  • Pro: User Groups and Client Portals are managed here when Pro is active.

Appearance & UI

  • Header title and default language.
  • Pro branding: logo upload, header colors, footer text.
  • Display tuning: hover preview size limits and file list summary depth.
  • FFmpeg path: optional override (locked by FR_FFMPEG_PATH if set).

Auth & WebDAV (OIDC/TOTP)

  • Enable/disable Login form, HTTP Basic, and OIDC login.
  • Proxy-only login: trust a reverse-proxy auth header and disable built-in logins.
  • Auth header name for proxy-only mode.
  • WebDAV enable/disable toggle.
  • OIDC settings: provider URL, redirect URI, client ID/secret (replace to update), public client toggle, debug logging, allow-demote, global OTPAuth URL, and a test button.

Uploads & Antivirus

  • Resumable chunk size (MB): applies to file picker uploads (Resumable.js). Lower it if a reverse proxy limits request size (for example, Cloudflare Tunnels 100 MB).
  • ClamAV upload scanning toggle (locked by VIRUS_SCAN_ENABLED when set).
  • Run self-test button.
  • Pro: Virus detection log (read-only preview in Core).
  • Shared max upload size (bytes) for share uploads.
  • View and delete active file and folder share links.

Network & Proxy

  • Published URL override for share links and redirects (locked by FR_PUBLISHED_URL when set).
  • Effective base path and share URL display (read-only).

Encryption at rest

  • Status, master key source, and key file controls.
  • Generate or clear the key file (blocked when locked by env).
  • See Encryption at Rest for details.

ONLYOFFICE

  • Enable ONLYOFFICE integration.
  • Document Server origin and JWT secret (replace to update).
  • Built-in CSP helper and connection tests.
  • Locked when ONLYOFFICE_* constants are set in config.php.

Storage / Disk Usage

  • Storage summary and disk-usage insights (scan-backed).

Sources

  • Enable Sources, add/edit/test connections, and set source read-only.
  • See Pro Sources for details.

Pro Features

  • Search Everywhere: enable/disable and default limit (env-locked when set).
  • Audit logs: enable, level, and size caps.

FileRise Pro

  • Pro license status, plan info, bundle install/update, and instance ID.

Thanks / Sponsor / Donations

  • Sponsorship links and support info.

Notes

  • Changes apply immediately after Save; some UI changes (header/branding) update instantly.
  • Source read-only and account-level flags still override per-folder ACLs.
