The operator console
one place for settings, customers and money.

01Overview and Get started

Overview shows the setup progress, the status checks and the figures of the period: workspaces, accounts, paying workspaces, videos, finished and failed renders, minutes of video rendered, AI calls, credits spent, and uploads and renders on disk. Get started collects the few fields Kinetica needs before it goes live (product name, accent colour, support e-mail, AI model, public URL, e-mail sender), each linked to its full section.

The search box at the top (⌘/Ctrl+K) finds any setting, section or action.

Status checks (checks in the manifest):

02Setup: Brand, Legal, AI director, Voice, Server

Settings sections, explained field by field in Configuration and White label. A field pinned by a variable in .env (for example PUBLIC_URL) is shown locked.

03Money: Credits, Customer billing, Plans, Credit packs

• Credits: the credit price of each action and the 4K multiplier.
• Customer billing: "Sell plans and credit packs", the name on receipts, promotion codes at checkout.
• Plans: the plan table and the plan form.
• Credit packs: one-time top-ups.

All four are explained in Plans and credits.

04Product: Access, Studio, Client review, Workspaces, Videos, Users

• Access: sign-up open or closed, welcome credits, announcement banner (Sign-up).
• Studio: niches, looks, captions, formats, languages and the longest video on offer.
• Client review: comment rate limit and link lifetime.
• Workspaces: every customer workspace with its plan, subscription, credits, videos, members and creation date. "New workspace (client name)" with a plan creates one (agency mode). Per row: change the plan by hand, and "Credits…" to add or remove credits with a reason the workspace sees.
• Videos: every video in every workspace with its last render. Open a workspace in the studio to change one.
• Users: studio accounts, staff and customers. "Invite staff (e-mail)", a password reset link per user, disable an account, make or remove staff.

05Content: Music library and Templates

• Music library: tracks people can put under their videos. Upload MP3, M4A or WAV (up to 30 MB), give each track a name, a mood (people pick music by mood) and a credit line (artist, title, licence) shown to users. Upload only music you own or hold a licence for. A new install has no tracks; videos render without music until you add some.
• Templates: starting points every workspace sees in its template gallery. Start from a video or paste a storyboard (JSON, up to 1 MB); set name, short description, category, order in the gallery and "Shown to workspaces".

06System: Rendering, Public API, E-mail, Integrations, Notifications

• Rendering: parallel renders, per-workspace limits, Chrome pages, watermark, GIF preview, keep days.
• Public API: the API switch and the per-key rate limit (API).
• E-mail: the sender and the "video is ready" e-mail.
• Integrations: the six keys (Keys). Only owners can change them.
• Notifications: where the console's own alerts go. Alerts are delivered to the webhook URL, signed with the signing secret (header x-mikodes-signature). The "Send alerts to" e-mail field is saved, but the console 1.0.0 delivers alerts by webhook only.

07Security & alerts, Export / Import

• Security & alerts: your two-factor sign-in (authenticator app), where you are signed in, the team rule "Require two-factor for owners and managers", and alert rules for failing status checks.
• Export / Import: a JSON file with every setting except secrets, to move a configuration between installs or keep a copy. An import shows exactly what changes before anything is applied. Only owners can import.

08Monitor: Revenue, Status, Audit log, History, and Kinetica's pages

09Console team

Team lists the people who can open the console, separate from studio accounts. Roles (packages/admin-kit/contract/manifest.ts):

Only owners add, change or remove members. Every sign-in and change is in the audit log. Lost owner password: recover-owner.js (First steps).
