Administrator view (panel) refers to the set of functionalities for web-based management of the content and configuration of an instance of the MINERVA Platform.
The users access the projects via direct hyperlinks. Many projects (single or combined maps) can be hosted in parallel on a single MINERVA instance. In Administrator panel, the users can view or manage hosted projects, depending on user’s privileges (user, curator, admin).
Administrator panel is shown below. Here you can configure Projects, Users, Configuration, and Plugins. Moreover, there is access to Rest API documentation (right top corner) and registration in MINERVA-NET service.
User Login#
Administrator view is accessible after logging in by clicking on the login icon 
in the top left corner of the map. Then users can either go to the admin panel right away (left) or access the admin panel using the login icon (right).
There are two ways to sign in to MINERVA platform for admin users:
- Local ID
- The user can log in with their username and password. See the section on User Registration (Local ID) for registration information.
- ORCID
- The user also can log in via ORCID. To enable ORCID login, ORCID Oauth is required (see here). Initial user privileges are inherited from the public user (anonymous)
