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