AdminForth

AdminForth is a back-office framework designed for situations where developers work with agents and admins operate on the same data surface. It emphasizes a shared repository, database, and permissions, enabling both sides to interact with resources in a unified panel. The tool is open-source and self-hosted, with a focus on agent-driven development using code-folding and declarative configuration.

An agent can edit it, and a reviewer can read the diff. It emphasizes discoverability of existing database schemas, showing that AdminForth reads the schema you already have and does not lock data into a proprietary format.

Admins using AdminForth can turn the same data into tools that an agent can call, so data can be read, filtered, and written by agents. The architecture supports permissions and hooks, and every action is tied to a secret per agent, revocable as needed, to control access to resources and data.

AdminForth ships plugins and resources as configurable items. It includes authentication, authorisation, branding, custom pages, and a variety of plugins (e.g., 2FA, audit logs, translation, bulk AI, dashboards) that extend the panel without altering the underlying database schema.

Use cases

• Back-office for database-backed applications where developers and admins share a single panel surface.
• Applications needing agent-driven data manipulation via a secure, auditable surface.
