# Build an admin panel with Mythex

> Dense tables, search, filters, and edit drawers for operators — database-backed CRUD.

# Build an admin panel with Mythex

An admin panel is the **operator view**: search, filters, bulk-ish lists, and edit drawers. It is denser and less “marketing” than a dashboard.

## When this is a good fit

* Someone on the team lives in a spreadsheet of rows they must change daily
* You already have (or will have) a [database](/features/database)
* You want keyboard-friendly tables, not a consumer landing page

Build a [dashboard](/use-cases/build-a-dashboard) first if you mainly need charts. Build an admin panel if you mainly need **to change records**.

## What you’ll have

* A table with search and filters
* Create / edit (often a drawer or modal)
* Empty and error states
* Optional role note in the UI until [BYO auth](/recipes/add-authentication)

## Starter prompt

```text theme={null}
Build an admin panel for [ENTITY].
Columns: [FIELDS]. Search + status filter. Row click opens an edit drawer.
Create + delete with confirm. Use /database. Dense layout, not a marketing site.
Seed 20 realistic rows.
```

## Build it

1. One **entity** first ([CRUD recipe](/recipes/build-a-crud-app)). Add related tables later.
2. Seed enough rows that search/filter are obviously working.
3. Ask for validation and confirm-on-delete in a follow-up.
4. `/test` search → edit → save → row updates.
5. Gate the panel before you publish (placeholder login, then BYO auth).
6. [Publish](/publish/how-to-publish) only if operators need a public URL.

## Honest limits

* Not a generic “connect any SQL warehouse” console
* No audit-log product or SSO for *your* operators (SSO for Mythex itself is on the roadmap)
* Permissions are app logic you describe, not a Mythex RBAC SKU
