## Summary Splits admin-panel resolvers off the shared `/metadata` GraphQL endpoint onto a dedicated `/admin-panel` endpoint. The backend plumbing mirrors the existing `metadata` / `core` pattern (new scope, decorator, module, factory), and admin types now live in their own `generated-admin/graphql.ts` on the frontend — dropping 877 lines of admin noise from `generated-metadata`. ## Why - **Smaller attack surface on `/metadata`** — every authenticated user hits that endpoint; admin ops don't belong there. - **Independent complexity limits and monitoring** per endpoint. - **Cleaner module boundaries** — admin is a cross-cutting concern that doesn't match the "shared-schema configuration" meaning of `/metadata`. - **Deploy / blast-radius isolation** — a broken admin query can't affect `/metadata`. Runtime behavior, auth, and authorization are unchanged — this is a relocation, not a re-permissioning. All existing guards (`WorkspaceAuthGuard`, `UserAuthGuard`, `SettingsPermissionGuard(SECURITY)` at class level; `AdminPanelGuard` / `ServerLevelImpersonateGuard` at method level) remain on `AdminPanelResolver`. ## What changed ### Backend - `@AdminResolver()` decorator with scope `'admin'`, naming parallels `CoreResolver` / `MetadataResolver`. - `AdminPanelGraphQLApiModule` + `adminPanelModuleFactory` registered at `/admin-panel`, same Yoga hook set as the metadata factory (Sentry tracing, error handler, introspection-disabling in prod, complexity validation). - Middleware chain on `/admin-panel` is identical to `/metadata`. - `@nestjs/graphql` patch extended: `resolverSchemaScope?: 'core' | 'metadata' | 'admin'`. - `AdminPanelResolver` class decorator swapped from `@MetadataResolver()` to `@AdminResolver()` — no other changes. ### Frontend - `codegen-admin.cjs` → `src/generated-admin/graphql.ts` (982 lines). - `codegen-metadata.cjs` excludes admin paths; metadata file shrinks by 877 lines. - `ApolloAdminProvider` / `useApolloAdminClient` follow the existing `ApolloCoreProvider` / `useApolloCoreClient` pattern, wired inside `AppRouterProviders` alongside the core provider. - 37 admin consumer files migrated: imports switched to `~/generated-admin/graphql` and `client: useApolloAdminClient()` is passed to `useQuery` / `useMutation`. - Three files intentionally kept on `generated-metadata` because they consume non-admin Documents: `useHandleImpersonate.ts`, `SettingsAdminApplicationRegistrationDangerZone.tsx`, `SettingsAdminApplicationRegistrationGeneralToggles.tsx`. ### CI - `ci-server.yaml` runs all three `graphql:generate` configurations and diff-checks all three generated dirs. ## Authorization (unchanged, but audited while reviewing) Every one of the 38 methods on `AdminPanelResolver` has a method-level guard: - `AdminPanelGuard` (32 methods) — requires `canAccessFullAdminPanel === true` - `ServerLevelImpersonateGuard` (6 methods: user/workspace lookup + chat thread views) — requires `canImpersonate === true` On top of the class-level guards above. No resolver method is accessible without these flags + `SECURITY` permission in the workspace. ## Test plan - [ ] Dev server boots; `/graphql`, `/metadata`, `/admin-panel` all mapped as separate GraphQL routes (confirmed locally during development). - [ ] `nx typecheck twenty-server` passes. - [ ] `nx typecheck twenty-front` passes. - [ ] `nx lint:diff-with-main twenty-server` and `twenty-front` both clean. - [ ] Manual smoke test: log in with a user who has `canAccessFullAdminPanel=true`, open the admin panel at `/settings/admin-panel`, verify each tab loads (General, Health, Config variables, AI, Apps, Workspace details, User details, chat threads). - [ ] Manual smoke test: log in with a user who has `canImpersonate=false` and `canAccessFullAdminPanel=false`, hit `/admin-panel` directly with a raw GraphQL request, confirm permission error on every operation. - [ ] Production deploy note: reverse proxy / ingress must route the new `/admin-panel` path to the Nest server. If the proxy has an explicit allowlist, infra change required before cutover. ## Follow-ups (out of scope here) - Consider cutting over the three `SettingsAdminApplicationRegistration*` components to admin-scope versions of the app-registration operations so the admin page is fully on the admin endpoint. - The `renderGraphiQL` double-assignment in `admin-panel.module-factory.ts` is copied from `metadata.module-factory.ts` — worth cleaning up in both.

Why Twenty
We built Twenty for three reasons:
CRMs are too expensive, and users are trapped. Companies use locked-in customer data to hike prices. It shouldn't be that way.
A fresh start is required to build a better experience. We can learn from past mistakes and craft a cohesive experience inspired by new UX patterns from tools like Notion, Airtable or Linear.
We believe in open-source and community. Hundreds of developers are already building Twenty together. Once we have plugin capabilities, a whole ecosystem will grow around it.
