# Implement Admin ("God Mode") for Contract

[Devsol-01]

We need to add an admin (God Mode) role to the contract to authorize privileged actions, such as minting. This issue focuses on implementing the initialization of the admin and the ability to update it securely.

Tasks

• Implement initialize(e: Env, admin: Address)

  • Stores the admin key in contract storage.
  • Security: Must fail if called more than once (check if admin key already exists).

• Implement update_admin(e: Env, new_admin: Address)

  • Security: Only the current admin can call this. Use e.call_stack().auth() to verify the caller.
  • Updates the admin key to new_admin.

Definition of Done

• Test: Calling initialize twice fails.
• Test: update_admin works when signed by the admin, fails otherwise.

Notes / Context

• The admin is the “God Mode” of the contract, responsible for privileged operations like minting tokens or pausing the contract in emergencies.
• Regular users cannot perform these actions.
• Ensure security checks are enforced properly to prevent unauthorized access.
