# Admin Panel & Roles

> Learn where Admins and Curators work, how to establish the first administrator, and how to keep responsibilities clear.

OpenCore separates deployment-wide administration from scoped resource curation so that people receive the access they need without expanding sensitive configuration access unnecessarily.

## Access the Admin Panel

After signing in with the appropriate role, Admins begin from **Admin** and can open model configuration at `/admin/configuration/language-models`. Curators begin from **Curator** at `/admin/agents`; their menu also provides MCP Actions, OpenAPI Actions, connectors, and document sets. Menu visibility does not remove the ownership and group boundaries described below.

## Admin and Curator

| Role           | Primary entry                                  | Primary responsibility                                                                                                                           |
| -------------- | ---------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Admin          | Admin → `/admin/configuration/language-models` | Configure deployment-wide settings and manage all Agents, Actions, connectors, document sets, and attachments                                    |
| Curator        | Curator → `/admin/agents`                      | Manage Agents, connectors, and document sets for groups for which they are a curator; create and maintain only their own MCP and OpenAPI Actions |
| Global Curator | Curator → `/admin/agents`                      | Manage Agents, connectors, and document sets for groups of which they are a member; create and maintain only their own Actions                   |

## First administrator

Before configuring the deployment, the person responsible for its initial setup should confirm administrator access. That administrator should then establish the intended roles and access boundaries before delegating configuration or curation work.

## Responsibility boundaries

Assign the smallest role that supports a person's task. A role name does not guarantee every menu is visible: deployment mode, server configuration, and administrator settings can still limit available controls.

Admins own deployment-wide settings and can manage all resources. Curators manage Agents, connectors, and document sets for groups for which they are a curator; Global Curators manage those group-scoped resources for groups of which they are members. Both Curator roles can create MCP and OpenAPI Actions, but can modify, delete, or maintain protected credentials only for Actions they created. Global Curator status does not expand Action ownership.

A Curator can attach a currently available Action to any Agent they can edit. Neither Curator role can change deployment-level models, Index Settings, organization-wide integrations or security, Usage, or other organization settings.

## Next steps

Confirm the deployment mode, configure deployment-level settings as an Admin, and give Curators only the group scope needed for their Agents, connectors, and document sets. Curator-created Actions remain owner-scoped.
