Admin Console

The Admin Console is the central control panel for SearchBlox. From here, administrators can manage all collections, monitor search activity, configure AI features, control user access, and view system health.

The Dashboard is the first screen you see after logging in. It gives you an instant snapshot of how your search platform is performing — showing active collections, indexed documents, chatbot usage, popular queries, and user engagement metrics, all in one place.

Accessing the Admin Console

Open your web browser and go to:

https://localhost:8443/console

Replace localhost:8443 with your actual server address or domain if you are not running SearchBlox locally.

First-Time Login

When you open SearchBlox for the first time, a License Agreement will appear.

1. Read the license agreement.
2. Click I Agree.
3. You will be redirected to the login page.

Who Can Access the Admin Console?

Super Admin user, Admin users, and Manager users can access most areas of the Admin Console. The only restriction is that Manager users cannot access the Security or Administration sections, as these contain sensitive settings reserved for higher-level admins.
