## Closes #19785 In-app management of **server-level admin rights** (`canAccessFullAdminPanel`, `canImpersonate`) so self-hosters no longer need raw SQL + a Redis flush + restart to grant access. > **Draft** — feature complete; `/code-review` + `/security-review` run and addressed. ### Background `AdminPanelGuard` / `ServerLevelImpersonateGuard` read `request.user.{canAccessFullAdminPanel,canImpersonate}`, hydrated each request from `CoreEntityCacheService.get('user', …)` (local 30-min + Redis no-TTL). The cache was only invalidated on soft-delete, so a raw `UPDATE core."user"` never took effect. The **first** signup auto-gets both flags; every subsequent admin previously needed raw SQL. ### UX - **Admin Panel → General → Administrators**: a read-only overview of every user with server-level access; each row links to that user's admin page. - **Find anyone** via the user search (Recent Users) — available to full admins and impersonators — then open their **admin user page**. - On the user page, an **"Administrator access"** card (gated on `canAccessFullAdminPanel`) has two toggles — *Full admin panel access* and *Impersonation* — that work for **any** user (a user with no access shows both off). Mirrors how **Impersonate** already works (find user → user page → act). Each change opens a confirm dialog with a **2FA code** field; the last full admin's toggle is disabled. ### Backend / security - **Cache fix** — invalidate the user entity cache on committed user updates (not just soft-delete) so privilege changes propagate (~100 ms, cluster-wide) with no restart. - `getServerAdmins` query + `updateServerAdminAccess` mutation (any `targetUserId`), gated on `canAccessFullAdminPanel`. - `NoImpersonationGuard` on both — an impersonated full-admin session can't be used to escalate an impersonator. - Fresh **2FA TOTP step-up** (enrolled+verified method **and** a fresh code; genuine 2FA errors surface; dev-skip on trusted `NODE_ENV`). - **Last-admin lockout** in a transaction with a pessimistic row lock (no TOCTOU). - **Email-to-all-admins + affected user** (rendered once per locale), structured log, audit event-log emit. - **Authorization**: the read-only `userLookupAdminPanel` + `adminPanelRecentUsers` lookups now accept `canAccessFullAdminPanel OR canImpersonate` (new `AdminPanelOrImpersonateGuard`), so a full admin without impersonate can still find users to manage. Workspace/impersonation queries stay impersonate-gated. ### Reviews - `/code-review` (max effort): 3 security findings (impersonation-escalation sink, lockout TOCTOU, step-up accepting PENDING 2FA) — **all fixed**. `/simplify`: applied. `/security-review`: **no high/medium vulnerabilities**. ### Follow-ups (not in this PR) - Unit tests for `AdminPanelServerAdminService` + a frontend test. - Point the self-host troubleshooting docs at the new UI. - OTP retry UX: `ConfirmationModal` closes on confirm, so a wrong code needs a reopen (kept to reuse the existing modal; no new pattern). ### Notes for reviewers - `generated-admin/graphql.ts` entries were hand-added to match codegen output (admin codegen needs a running server); re-run `nx graphql:generate twenty-front --configuration=admin` to confirm parity. - First-admin bootstrap (first signup) is unchanged. --------- Co-authored-by: claude[bot] <41898282+claude[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>

Installation
Cloud
The fastest way to get started. Sign up at twenty.com and spin up a workspace in under a minute, with no infrastructure to manage and always up to date.
Build an app
Scaffold a new app with the Twenty CLI:
npx create-twenty-app my-app
Define objects, fields, and views as code:
import { defineObject, FieldType } from 'twenty-sdk/define';
export default defineObject({
nameSingular: 'deal',
namePlural: 'deals',
labelSingular: 'Deal',
labelPlural: 'Deals',
fields: [
{ name: 'name', label: 'Name', type: FieldType.TEXT },
{ name: 'amount', label: 'Amount', type: FieldType.CURRENCY },
{ name: 'closeDate', label: 'Close Date', type: FieldType.DATE_TIME },
],
});
Then ship it to your workspace:
npx twenty app:publish --private
See the app development guide for objects, views, agents, and logic functions.
Self-hosting
Run Twenty on your own infrastructure with Docker Compose, or contribute locally via the local setup guide.
Everything you need
Twenty gives you the building blocks of a modern CRM (objects, views, workflows, and agents) and lets you extend them as code. Here's a tour of what's in the box.
