Administration (Governance)¶
Administration in locali is bundled into the Governance hub — the central place where operators and hub admins steer the hub: users and directories, content supply, platform settings, and the optional AI features.
Access¶
The Governance hub lives under /governance. You reach it via the shield icon
in the top bar or via Profile → Administration.
Access is capability-based: you only see the areas you are actually authorised for —
empty groups are hidden. In practice these are hub admins; individual rights can,
however, be granted selectively. Former /admin/... addresses automatically redirect to
the new /governance/... pages.
Attention markers
On individual rows (e.g. Sources, Organisations) a red marker with a number appears live when something is waiting for you — such as a submitted source or a claim request. The number is also part of the screen-reader label (accessibility: never colour alone).
The areas at a glance¶
The Governance hub is divided into four groups.
Users & directories¶
| Area | Description |
|---|---|
| Users | Search, verify, promote to admin, and disable accounts |
| Spaces | View, create, archive/reactivate all spaces, assign owners |
| Space settings | Configure an individual space: identity, access, AI features, invite codes |
| Places | Approve proposed places, handle reports, maintain the public map |
| Organisations | Review proposals and submitted sources, assign owners |
Content supply¶
| Area | Description |
|---|---|
| Sources | Configure RSS/ICS feeds and other content sources |
| Routing rules | Rules that add further target spaces to content |
| Areas | Centrally managed geographic units (part of the routing vocabulary) |
| Keyword tags | Keywords that automatically tag content (part of the routing vocabulary) |
Note: Routing rules, Areas, and Keyword tags live together in the app under Governance → Routing (tabs Overview · Rules · Log · Vocabulary). In this documentation they are split onto their own pages for clarity.
Platform¶
| Area | Description |
|---|---|
| Setup | Guided wizard through the hub essentials: imprint, privacy, terms, welcome texts, optional AI — with a badge for open required items |
| Hub settings | Hub identity, registration mode, invite codes, welcome text, default map view |
| Legal texts | Imprint, privacy policy, and terms of use |
AI (optional)¶
| Area | Description |
|---|---|
| Semantic search & recommendations | Embedding provider, indexing, semantic search, routing, personalisation |
| Ask locali & writing help | Language model (LLM), the "Ask locali" assistant, and writing aids |
| Knowledge gaps | Unanswered questions that reveal gaps in the content |
How-to guides¶
Concrete step-by-step recipes are in the how-to guides — such as "Assign a source to a space" or "Set up a new space from scratch".
