About Sites in App Management

Use Admin Center > App management > Sites when you need to manage the portfolio of tenant Sites on the AlloyScan instance.

This is an instance-level surface for Global Administrators. It is different from Organization profile under Site Settings, which edits one already selected Site.

Note: This page covers instance-level administration in App Management. It is used by Global Administrators.

Admin Center > App management > Sites

What this page is for

The Sites page is where a Global Administrator:

  • reviews the list of tenant Sites hosted on the instance
  • creates a new Site
  • opens an existing Site for follow-up administration
  • reasons about the instance as a multi-site deployment rather than as one current tenant

Sites vs Organization profile

The two surfaces work together, but they do different jobs:

Surface Scope Typical use
App management > Sites Whole instance Create and review Sites across the deployment
Site Settings > Organization profile One current Site Edit that Site's title, slug, avatar, and per-Site caps

Create and portfolio-level review happen in App management. Fine-tuning one tenant happens in Site Settings after that Site exists.

What happens at Site creation

When a Global Administrator creates a new Site, AlloyScan creates the Site shell and copies the current instance Site Template defaults into the new Site.

That means:

  • there is one instance-wide Site Template state
  • new Sites inherit whatever that state is at creation time
  • later edits to the Site Template do not retroactively change Sites that already exist

For the Site Template model itself, see About Site templates.

Typical flow

  1. Open Admin Center > App management > Sites.
  2. Create the new Site shell.
  3. AlloyScan copies the current Site Template defaults into the new Site.
  4. Switch into the new Site and continue with Site Settings for tenant-specific changes.
