Had the same problem and finally managed to make it work.I think your INSTALLED_APPS are ordered correctly - the admin_tools should be before django.contrib.admin. To be absolutely sure push django.contrib.admin below other admin_tools apps too.The problem is probably somewhere in the other configurations; mine was that admin_tools couldn't access my templates and was running the regular admin instead.
Check out the order of your INSTALLED_APPS; It might help if you place the django.contrib.admin just below the django-admin-tools, the order here is used for choosing the right /templates/admin directory.
A little bit late, but I had the same problem, which turned out to be caused by the following circumstance: before installing admin-tools I had overridden one of the admin templates (base-site.html) by putting a modified version in my_project/templates/admin. So it would always use this template instead of the admin_tools one. After removing the custom template it worked.
Windows 10 admin tools or 'Administrative Tools' is the collective name for several advanced tools and are probably one of the most handy features for any IT admin out there. It allows the admin to manage several parameters of the operating system for quick troubleshooting.
Now that we are aware of these special Windows 10 admin tools and how they can be accessed, let us see how Endpoint Central MSP can help you avoid all these unnecessary steps with our specialized set of admin tools.
Endpoint Central MSP was designed by keeping IT administrators in focus. An IT admin handles hundreds of devices at one go. Some of these devices might be located at a completely remote site. Now each time an end-user might have any issue, the IT admin will either have to be physically present near the device to troubleshoot it or connect to the device remotely through RDP or any 3rd party remote access tool for troubleshooting. After this step, he/she will still need to access the Windows 10 admin tools section through one of the two ways mentioned above to diagnose the problem. This whole process can consume considerable amount of time and resource for any organisation/MSP and troubleshooting requests for the admin eventually piles up.
After dissecting this seemingly simple issue which can create an enormous back log of tickets overtime and eventually increase downtime of an organisation, Endpoint Central MSP created a whole feature around Windows 10 admin tools. This feature, clearly named 'Tools' for easy understanding, provides an IT admin unequivocal access to client's desktop from a central location. Endpoint Central MSP's tools allows single-click access to any end-user's (including remote) System Manager, Task Manager, Services, Printer, Command Prompt, File manager, Registry, Event Viewer, etc. which in turn helps troubleshoot the problem quicker than ever. Along with a built-in remote control, chat, video/audio call, file transfer ability, built-in admin tools shortcuts in remote control, tough and persistent issues can be resolved in no time.
Endpoint Central MSP's 'Tools' feature also provides you Wake-on-LAN, remote shutdown, and make network-wide announcements from the same interface. Now let us take a step back. Any decent remote access tool (such as Splashtop, Team viewer, etc) will cost you anywhere from $500 to upwards of $1500 for the same features and upto 5 users. With Endpoint Central MSP, 'Tools' is just one feature just one feature among dozen others (such as patch management, software deployment, asset management, etc.) which makes an IT admin's life easier than ever for the same amount.
How to log in to WordPressHow to update your WordPress admin passwordHow to reset the permissions of your files and foldersHow to move your WordPress site to another folderHow to delete your WordPress applicationTo make it easier for you to manage your WordPress site, we have created a special tool which automates the most common admin tasks, like changing your admin password, moving or deleting your site, fixing permissions, and others. To access it, go to your Site Tools > WordPress > Install & Manage.
Using the Install & Manage tool, you can easily change your admin password too. Navigate to Manage Installations, click on the Actions menu next to the desired domain and select Update Admin Password.
The Admin Tools module adds functionality and quick access for clearing caches, running cron and updates much like Admin Menu. Additionally, administrators can add their own custom links via hook_admin_tools_links() (this functionality is currently only available for Drupal 7)
The Analytics admin tools area is the main area for managing your Adobe Analytics instance; this is where most administrative tasks can be done. The other area for Analytics administration, the Adobe admin console, is for provisioning users and setting permissions.
Use the Analytics admin tools area for all Adobe Analytics administration tasks (besides user provisioning and permissions management). Examples of common administrative tasks include: creating and managing report suites; importing external data sources; excluding data from specific IP addresses; and so forth.
For all organizations that are migrated to Adobe IMS, these tasks are performed in the Adobe admin console. For more information, see the Adobe Analytics first admin guide. If your organization is not yet migrated to Adobe IMS, see Analytics User Migration to the Adobe Admin Console.
Encompass360 Admin Tools allows you to manage and monitor your Encompass360 installation, including server settings, event logs, and current users. In most cases, you must log in as the admin user to use each tool.
Add a brand new application, call it "Admin Tools", and register that one. That will generate an "App ID" (NOT THE SAME AS THE ITEM ID). Then, add the full URL of where admin tools will be running from (i.e. and/or ) to the "Redirect URIs" on the Admin Tools application.
This is a quick guide intended for new administrators. It does not cover everything you need to know but just the basics. Also note that the specific verbs and options from this guide will change over time as tools change, but overall this is what the main tools look like:
This panel is used to check the specifics of the current round. The first section is the most important one as it has links to panels which show who antagonists are, AI laws + law changes, the manifest, game mode, etc. The rest of the list are events which you can trigger. At the end of the secrets panel there is a link to the admin log, available to full game admins. This shows a log of what buttons were pressed and who pressed them so don't muck around with these buttons - It's all logged.
admin-tools is available as an AppImage which means "one app = one file", which you can download and run on your Linux system while you don't need a package manager and nothing gets changed in your system. Awesome!
The admin-tools AppImage also can be updated using AppImageUpdate. Using this tool, admin-tools can be updated by downloading only the portions of the AppImage that have actually changed since the last version.
If you would like to have the executable bit set automatically, and would like to see admin-tools and other AppImages integrated into the system (menus, icons, file type associations, etc.), then you may want to check the optional appimaged daemon.
I am trying to find a way to upload a large amount of new login e-mail details to all our employee accounts in concur. Under Admin, Company, Tools i have been informed i don't have the relevant option to import this information directly. I am using the standard version of Concur-is it possible to improve my admin right to enable an upload option?
To download the SysAid Administrator tools, go to Settings > Network Discovery > Downloads within SysAid and click on the link to download the SysAid Administrator Tools. Make sure you remember where you save the file.
