System Admin provides centralized management for your Teable instance. Administrators can manage users, spaces, templates, instance settings, and AI settings here.

​
Accessing System Admin

After signing in as an instance administrator, click the space name in the upper left, then choose System Admin from the menu.
Only instance administrators can access System Admin. The first registered user automatically becomes an instance administrator.

​
System Admin Modules

System Admin groups its pages by purpose:

​
Instance configuration

  • Instance settings: Configure system-wide settings, permissions, email, and system limits
  • AI settings: Configure AI features and models
  • Skills: Publish skills that every AI agent in the instance can use
  • Template admin: Configure template center and custom templates
  • Template review: Review templates that members submit to the template center
  • Self-hosted license: Register, update, and view the current instance license

​
Organization & spaces

  • Users: Manage user accounts, permissions, and access
  • Spaces: Manage spaces and auto-join settings
  • Database Tenant: Create and manage database tenants that use customer-managed PostgreSQL databases

​
Operations & audit

​
Administrator Permissions

Instance administrators have full control over the instance:
  • Manage all users and spaces
  • Configure system-wide settings
  • Register and update licenses
  • Not subject to user-level restrictions
Administrator permissions are very powerful. Use them carefully to avoid unintended changes.
