The Manager uses a component called DataManager that provides a consistent interface for every data type: a searchable list view with pagination, and a slide-out form panel for creating or editing records. Forms are generated automatically from the platform's field definitions, including validation, file uploads, and rich-text editing.
Access to the Manager is controlled by user roles and custom role permissions:
Regular users and visitors cannot access the Manager at all.
Most records follow a status workflow:
When multiple admins are working in the CMS, the platform tracks who is actively editing each record to prevent accidental overwrites.
Active editor tracking requires Redis (Upstash) to be configured. If Redis is unavailable, the feature silently degrades and editing works normally without lock indicators.
