+---
+
+## Admin Interface
+
+Users which have *staff* privileges have access to an Admin interface which provides extremely low level control of the database. Every item in the database is available and this interface provides a convenient option for directly viewing and modifying database objects.
+
+!!! warning "Caution"
+	Admin users should exercise extreme care when modifying data via the admin interface, as performing the wrong action may have unintended consequences!
+
+The admin interface allows *staff* users the ability to directly view / add / edit / delete database entries according to their [user permissions](./permissions.md).
+
+### Access Admin Interface
+
+To access the admin interface, select the "Admin" option from the drop-down user menu in the top-right corner of the screen.
+
+
+!!! info "Staff Only"
+    Only users with staff acccess will be able to see the "Admin" option
+
+An adminstation panel will be presented as shown below:
+
+{% with id="admin", url="admin/admin.png", description="InvenTree Admin Panel" %}
+{% include 'img.html' %}
+{% endwith %}
+
+!!! info "Admin URL"
+    To directly access the admin iterface, append /admin/ to the InvenTree site URL - e.g. http://localhost:8000/admin/
+
+### View Database Objects
+
+Database objects can be listed and filtered directly. The image below shows an example of displaying existing part categories.
+
+{% with id="part_cats", url="admin/part_cats.png", description="Display part categories" %}
+{% include 'img.html' %}
+{% endwith %}
+
+!!! info "Permissions"
+    A "staff" account does not necessarily provide access to all administration options, depending on the roles assigned to the user.
+
+#### Filtering
+
+Some admin views support filtering of results against specified criteria. For example, the list of Part objects can be filtered as follows:
+
+{% with id="filter", url="admin/filter.png", description="Filter part list" %}
+{% include 'img.html' %}
+{% endwith %}
+
+### Edit Database Objects
+
+Individual database objects can be edited directly in the admin interface. The image below shows an exmple of editing a Part object:
+
+{% with id="edit_part", url="admin/edit_part.png", description="Edit Part object" %}
+{% include 'img.html' %}
+{% endwith %}
