● Set up · /admin
Operator console.
Every section in plain language.
The console at /admin is where you run the service: brand, prices, payments, ads, content, community and creators. Settings have hard caps, secrets are write-only, and every change goes into the audit log with history and rollback.
01Signing in and roles
The owner account is created on first start with ADMIN_SETUP_TOKEN or the one-time setup code from the log (how). Add more people under Team. There are three roles:
| Role | Can |
|---|---|
| Owner | Everything, including secrets (API keys, service accounts) and money settings. |
| Manager | Day-to-day work: library, viewers (bonus coins, VIP days, blocking, password reset), orders, moderation. |
| Viewer | Read-only. |
Without signing in, neither the console nor its product pages answer (the product API returns 401).
02What ships on and what ships off
Every switch that earns or gives away money is off when you install. Coin amounts are prices and rewards inside the app.
| Switch | Default |
|---|---|
| Payments → Sell coin packs and VIP passes | off |
| Payments → Stripe / PayPal checkout on the web, Manual top-up | off |
| VIP → VIP passes | off |
| Rewarded ads | off |
| Interstitial ad after every N episodes | 0 = never |
| Referral programme (bonuses 0) | off |
| Creator studio, creator revenue share (0 bps) | off |
| Welcome bonus | 0 coins |
| Push notifications, offline downloads, watermark, character chat, AI auto-subtitles | off |
| Daily check-in, daily missions, comments, allow auto-unlock, show cost to finish | on (free features for viewers) |
03Fair-by-design options
- Allow viewers to turn on auto-unlock: even when allowed, auto-unlock stays off until a viewer turns it on, and it stops at the viewer's own spending cap per series.
- Show the cost to finish a series: the unlock sheet states how many coins the rest of the series costs.
- No ads for VIP members (on by default).
- Interstitials: off by default, never for VIP members.
- VIP passes never renew by themselves.
- Referrals are one level only; the inviter is paid only after the invited viewer's first paid order.
- Creator share has a hard cap of 8000 bps (80%).
