Administration.
Configure and control your deployment with ease.
Customise your setup with confidence.
A single, unified dashboard surfaces key information, system status, and notifications across your ESS environment. From here, administrators can manage users, devices, rooms, and policies centrally, without navigating complex configuration files.
By exposing selected configuration options, Element Admin makes it easy to tailor and fine-tune your deployment to meet organisational requirements with just a few clicks.
Centralised administration at scale.
From everyday operational tasks to advanced enterprise controls such as moderation and federation management, administrators can oversee, secure and adapt their environment from a single interface.
By design, Element Admin separates technical system administrators (responsible for the deployment) from application administrators (responsible for the application), providing each with a tailored experience.
Local user management
Create, manage and deactivate user accounts directly within ESS. Control access, manage profiles, and ensure users have the appropriate permissions across your organisation.
Device management
View and manage the devices connected to your deployment. Revoke access for lost or compromised devices to maintain account security and protect sensitive communications.
Room management
Create, configure and manage rooms and Spaces across your deployment. Update room settings, control access and maintain clear communication structures for teams and departments.
Registration tokens
Control how users join your deployment by issuing and managing registration tokens. This allows secure onboarding while preventing unauthorised account creation.
Personal access tokens
Generate and manage personal access tokens for integrations, automation, or API access - enabling secure, auditable interaction with your ESS environment.
Supervision
Apply organisation-wide
moderation
policies using centralised tools. Administrators can manage room behaviour, enforce standards, and respond quickly to moderation needs.
Federation overview
Get an overview of the federated servers your deployment interacts with, helping administrators understand and monitor federation activity across the network.
Federation controls
Manage and restrict federation with external servers using the
Secure Border Gateway
. Acting as an application-level firewall for Matrix servers, it inspects all requests to and from your server and applies rules based on request metadata.
