The SPARCAdmin module is only accessible by site admins (in SPARC Settings), where the application-level configurations can be set up.

SPARCAdmin navigation button can be added onto the SPARC navigation bar through the setting 'navbar_links'. Once the button is configured, it will show up for all site admin users.

Click on the “SPARCAdmin” button to view all the tabs/pages.

2. Applications (API configurations)

Before SPARCRequest v3.8.0, SPARCRequest did not have a standardized API exchange password, and was using a fixed account and password for communication with other applications.

The Applications page is aiming at:

1). The ability to generate API tokens for different applications to use for connection to SPARCRequest has been added;

2). Generate ‘Client Secret’ key and update as necessary for better security;

3). Displays an ‘Access log’ which shows the utilization of an API token.

3. Catalog Overlords

The Catalog Overlords tab is where the list of overlord users can be viewed and managed.

4. Permissible Values:

The Permissible Values tab was added to SPARCAdmin to allow a limited group of frontend users (Site Admins) the ability to adjust what was previously a backend function.
