Forest Admin is a SaaS solution that allows users to quickly create custom admin interfaces to manage business data. It integrates directly with existing databases such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MongoDB, providing simplified management of CRUD operations (create, read, update, delete). With its intuitive and modular interface, it enables the design of tailored dashboards suited to the specific needs of each team.
Role-based access management ensures enhanced security by restricting access to sensitive information. Forest Admin stands out for its flexibility, whether in terms of hosting (cloud or on-premise) or its integrations with APIs, facilitating the automation and evolution of internal operations.
Stop building your admin panel. Just ship it. Forest Admin does all the heavy lifting of building the admin panel of your web application and provides an API-based framework to implement all your specific business processes.
Fully-featured out of the box :
Get your admin panel up and running in a flash with all the features you expect from an advanced product.
CRUD :
All of your CRUD operations are natively supported. The API automatically supports your data models' validation and allows you to easily extend or override any API routes' with your very own custom logic.
Search & Filters :
Forest Admin has a built-in search allowing you to run basic queries to retrieve your application's data. Set advanced filters based on fields and relationships to handle complex search use cases.
Sorting & Pagination :
Sorting and pagination features are natively handled by the Admin API. We're continuously optimizing how queries are run in order to display results faster and reduce the load of your servers.
Custom Actions :
A custom action is a button which allows you to trigger an API call to execute a custom logic. With virtually no limitations, you can extend the way you manipulate data and trigger actions (e.g. refund a customer, apply a coupon, ban a user, etc.)
Export :
Sometimes you need to export your data to a good old fashioned CSV. Yes, we know this can come in handy sometimes 🙂
Segments :
Get in app access to a subset of your application data by doing a basic search or typing an SQL query or implementing an API route.
Dashboards :
Forest Admin is able to tap into your actual data to chart out your metrics using a simple UI panel, a SQL query or a custom API call.
WYSIWYG :
The WYSIWYG interface saves you a tremendous amount of frontend development time using drag'n'drop as well as advanced widgets to build customizable views.
Custom HTML/CSS/JS :
Code your own views using JS, HTML, and CSS to display your application data in a more appropriate way (e.g. Kanban, Map, Calendar, Gallery, etc.).
Team-based Permissions :
Without any lines of code, manage directly from the UI who has access or can act on which data using a team-based permission system.
Third-party Integrations :
Leverage data from third-party services by reconciling it with your application’s data and providing it directly to your Admin Panel. All your actions can be performed at the same place, bringing additional intelligence to your Admin Panel and ensuring consistency.
Notes & Comments :
Assign your teammates to specific tasks, leave a note or simply comment a record, thereby simplifying collaboration all across your organization.
Activity Logs :
Monitor each action executed and follow the trail of modification on any data with an extensive activity log system.
Install Forest Admin in under 5 minutes :
Generate the admin API of your application using our open-source agent and say hello to your brand new admin panel.
Don't make any trade-offs :
Forest Admin is designed from the ground up with flexibility in mind. From the API to the UI, everything is customizable to let you handle even the most complex scenario.
Works with popular stacks :
Forest Admin is compatible with all kinds of application frameworks and software architectures running on one or multiple SQL and MongoDB databases.
How it Works: Forest Admin consists of two components:
The Admin Frontend is the user interface where you'll manage your data and configuration. The Admin Backend is an API hosted on your servers where you can find and extend your data models and all the business logic (routes, actions, …) related to your admin panel.
Authentication :
The connection to both servers (the Admin Backend and the Forest Admin Servers) are protected using 2 different JWT signed by 2 different keys:
No 3rd-party Tracking :
The Admin Frontend has an option to completely disable any 3rd-party provider that could track data available from your browser to guarantee the respect of data privacy.
IP Whitelisting :
The IP whitelisting feature allows you to create a list of trusted IP addresses or IP ranges from which your users can both access to the Admin Frontend and interact with your Admin Backend API.
DMZ & VPN :
You're free to host your Admin Backend wherever you want to be compliant with your security infrastucture (DMZ, VPN, etc.).
Business grade security features :
We know that with scalability comes great responsibility. That’s why we made sure to provide a business grade level of security: enforced 2FA, IP Whitelist (to name a few) comes out-of-the-box with Forest Admin.
No access given to your data :
Data transits through the admin API hosted on your servers to your end-user browser, while remaining invisible to our Forest Admin servers.
We’re already working with companies compliant with Industry Standard Certifications :
