Administration Guide

Welcome to the Mattermost Administration Guide. This guide is organized around what you're doing — setting the server up, getting users in, running it day to day, keeping it healthy, meeting your compliance obligations, upgrading it, and migrating data in and out.

  • Configure - System Console settings, search, email, file storage, branding, agents, and plugins.
  • Onboard users - Single sign-on, AD/LDAP, provisioning, and guest accounts.
  • Manage - Access control, server operations, licensing, Cloud workspaces, and notices.
  • Monitor and troubleshoot - Metrics and dashboards, logging, health checks, support packets, and error codes.
  • Comply - Compliance export and monitoring, eDiscovery, data retention, legal hold, and audit logs.
  • Upgrade - Upgrade notes, upgrade and downgrade procedures, and post-upgrade rollout tasks.
  • Migrate - Bulk import and export, MySQL to PostgreSQL, FIPS migration, and moving from another platform.
