title: Admin UI Features
---
Built into ServiceStack v6+ Apps is the [Admin UI](/admin-ui) providing **Admin** Users a UX Friendly UI to access App features & summary insights from:
/admin-ui
Which after authenticating will take you to the Admin UI dashboard showing the authenticated Admin User details and general API stats:
Further Admin UI functionality can be enabled by adding the necessary dependencies and Admin APIs necessary to implement the Admin UI Features.
### Disabling the Admin UI
If desired, the **/admin-ui** features can be selectively or entirely disabled using the `AdminUi` Enum flags:
```csharp
ConfigurePlugin(feature => feature.AdminUi = AdminUi.None);
```
## Admin Users
User management functionality for creating & modifying users, assigning Roles & Permissions, locking users or updating their passwords can be enabled by registering `AdminUsersFeature` plugin:
```csharp
Plugins.Add(new AdminUsersFeature());
```
Which enables a familiar UI for searching & managing users:

See [Admin UI User Docs](/admin-ui-users) to learn about Admin User features and available customization options
:::
## Redis Admin
The [Redis Admin UI](/admin-ui-redis) lets you manage your App's configured Redis Server with a user-friendly UX for managing core Redis data types, simple search functionality to quickly find Redis values, quick navigation between related values, first class support for JSON values and a flexible command interface and command history to inspect all previously run redis commands.
It can be enabled by registering the `AdminRedisFeature` plugin:
```csharp
services.AddPlugin(new AdminRedisFeature());
```
Which will enable the **Redis** Admin UI:
[](/admin-ui-redis)
::: info
See [Redis Admin docs](/admin-ui-redis) for more info.
:::
## Database Admin
The [Database Admin UI](/admin-ui-database) lets you quickly browse and navigate your App's configured RDBMS schemas and tables:
It can be enabled by registering the `AdminDatabaseFeature` plugin from [ServiceStack.Server](https://nuget.org/packages/ServiceStack.Server):
```csharp
services.AddPlugin(new AdminDatabaseFeature());
```
Which will enable the **Database** Admin UI:
[](/admin-ui-database)
::: info
See [Database Admin docs](/admin-ui-database) for more info.
:::
## Request Logging & Profiling
Enables invaluable observability into your App, from being able to quickly inspect and browse incoming requests, to tracing their behavior:
:::sh
npx add-in profiling
:::
Which will add the [Modular Startup](/modular-startup) configuration to your Host project that registers both Request Logging & Profiling features when running your App in [DebugMode](/debugging#debugmode) (i.e. Development):
```csharp
[assembly: HostingStartup(typeof(MyApp.ConfigureProfiling))]
namespace MyApp;
public class ConfigureProfiling : IHostingStartup
{
public void Configure(IWebHostBuilder builder) => builder
.ConfigureServices((context, services) => {
if (context.HostingEnvironment.IsDevelopment())
{
services.AddPlugin(new ProfilingFeature
{
IncludeStackTrace = true,
});
}
});
}
```
Which will enable the Request Logging & Profiling UIs:
::: info
See [Admin Logging & Profiling UI docs](/admin-ui-profiling) to learn about Admin Profiling feature and available customization options.
:::
## Validation
The Admin Validation feature enables adding dynamically sourced validation rules that can be applied & modified at runtime.
The most popular `IValidationSource` for maintaining dynamic validation rules is `OrmLiteValidationSource` for maintaining them
in the App's registered database's `ValidationRule` RDBMS Table:
```csharp
[assembly: HostingStartup(typeof(MyApp.ConfigureValidation))]
namespace MyApp;
public class ConfigureValidation : IHostingStartup
{
// Add support for dynamically generated db rules
public void Configure(IWebHostBuilder builder) => builder
.ConfigureServices(services => services.AddSingleton(c =>
new OrmLiteValidationSource(c.Resolve(), HostContext.LocalCache)))
.ConfigureAppHost(appHost => {
// Create `ValidationRule` table if it doesn't exist in AppHost.Configure() or Modular Startup
appHost.Resolve().InitSchema();
});
}
```
Which can be quickly added to your project with:
:::sh
npx add-in validation-source
:::
Which the built-in [Validation Feature](/validation.html#validation-feature) detects to register the `GetValidationRules` and `ModifyValidationRules` APIs used by the Admin Validation Feature:
::: info
See [Admin UI Validation Docs](/admin-ui-validation) to learn about dynamic DB Validation Rules
