Getting admin access

Admins are created or promoted with the server seed script. There is no self-service admin sign-up.

cd server
ADMIN_EMAIL=ops@nexlm.app \
ADMIN_PASSWORD='a-long-unique-password1' \
ADMIN_DISPLAY_NAME=nexlm_ops \
npm run db:seed

Situation	Result
Email not registered	Creates a verified admin with a new Stellar wallet (funded on testnet)
Email already registered	Promotes that user to ADMIN and marks their email verified

ADMIN_DISPLAY_NAME is optional and defaults to nexlm_admin.

After seeding, log in normally. An Admin link appears in the top navigation.

Good practice

• Give each operator their own admin account — don't share credentials.
• Use an email address that isn't used for trading.
• Admin accounts cannot be suspended or banned from the admin UI; demote them directly in the database if needed.
