AnimeThemes Server uses Filament as its admin panel framework, providing a comprehensive interface for managing all aspects of the application.

​
Accessing the Admin Panel

The admin panel is accessible at the path configured in your config/filament.php file (typically /admin). You’ll need to log in with a user account that has appropriate permissions. 
https://your-domain.com/admin

​
Authentication

The panel uses Laravel’s authentication system with role-based access control. Only authenticated users with admin permissions can access the panel.

​
Permission Management

Permissions control access to specific features and resources. Each permission has a unique name that follows a pattern like view.anime or create.user. Permissions can be:
  • Assigned directly to users
  • Assigned to roles (which are then assigned to users)

​
User Management

The Users resource (app/Filament/Resources/Auth/UserResource.php:36) allows administrators to:
  • View user profiles and details

  • Grant/revoke direct permissions
  • Issue sanctions or prohibitions
  • View user playlists
Available user actions:

The admin panel includes a global search feature powered by Laravel Scout. Search across all resources from the top navigation bar.
