Admin UI tour
The ScaiDrive admin console is a separate web app at your organization's admin URL (typically https://drive.example.com/admin/). It needs an account with the admin role on at least one tenant. From here you provision users, manage shares, configure compliance, and integrate with the rest of your infrastructure.
This page is a roadmap of what's where. Each section below has its own page with the details.
Layout#
The admin console has a left sidebar grouped into:
| Group | Pages | What you do here |
|---|---|---|
| Overview | Dashboard | Storage utilization, active users, recent activity |
| People | Users, Groups | Account lifecycle, group membership, quotas |
| Storage | Shares, Quotas, External Links | Provisioning storage, capping usage, link policy |
| Identity | Identity Providers, SCIM, Sessions, Applications, Webhooks | SSO, automated provisioning, OAuth client management |
| Compliance | Activity Log, Audit Log, Compliance, SIEM | Auditing, retention, DLP, legal holds, eDiscovery |
| Connectors | SMB, SharePoint | Hybrid sync with existing storage |
| AI | Vectorization Providers, Policies | Semantic search configuration |
| System | Settings, Tenants, Partners, Admins | Global config, multi-tenancy, admin team |
Day-zero checklist#
If you've just stood up a fresh ScaiDrive instance, work through this list in order:
- Connect SSO — Identity Providers. Until you do, nobody can sign in.
- Create your first shares — Storage → Shares → New share. Each team gets one.
- Set default quotas — System → Settings → Storage. Pick a sensible per-user default.
- Provision users — either let them sign up via SSO on first use, or push them via SCIM if your IdP supports it.
- Configure retention — System → Settings → Retention. How long to keep file versions and trashed files.
- Enable audit-log export — Compliance → SIEM. Send events to your SIEM if you have one.
- Decide on external sharing — System → Settings → Sharing. Allow external links? With what cap on expiry / download count?
Day-two operations#
Once the system is live:
- Activity Log — what users did today.
- Sessions — kill a stolen session.
- DLP rules — automated content scanning and blocking.
- Legal holds — preserve files for litigation.
What's next#
- Users and groups — provisioning accounts.
- Identity providers — SSO setup.
- Deployment — how to install / scale the platform itself.
