Admin Guide

The Admin panel is available at /admin for users with the admin role.

User Management

Create user: Username, role (admin/user), optional temporary password (auto-generated if blank).

Edit user: Change username, role, or reset password.

Delete user: Removes the user account. Scan history and edits are preserved.

Password policies: Enforced for all users:

• Minimum 8 characters
• Must contain uppercase, lowercase, digit, and special character
• Cannot reuse last 5 passwords

Database Management

Statistics

Shows:

• Database file size
• Row counts for all tables (users, projects, scans, hosts, ports, etc.)
• Latest activity

Backup

Download a full SQLite database backup (.db file). The backup is consistent — NexusMap uses WAL mode so reads don't block writes.

Restore

Import an external NexusMap database. The import merges data — existing records are not overwritten. You can preview the import before confirming.

Vacuum

Reclaims unused disk space. The database file shrinks to its minimum size. Database remains online during vacuum (SQLite WAL mode).

Factory Reset

Deletes all data: projects, scans, results, users, profiles, everything. Built-in profiles are re-seeded on next restart.

Health Check

Runs PRAGMA integrity_check on the SQLite database. Reports any corruption.
