+We have an integration with the `ckanext-admin-panel` extension, which allows you to manage the CKAN configuration from the web interface. To enable this integration, you need to install the `ckanext-admin-panel` extension and configure it as described in the [`ckanext-admin-panel documentation`](https://github.com/DataShades/ckanext-admin-panel).
+
+![alt text](../img/ap_toolbar.png)
+
+???+ Note
+    The admin panel is available only for `sysadmin` users.
+
+By default, the admin pages are not being registered. But if you want to enable it, you can set the respective option to `true` in your CKAN configuration file.
+
+```ini
+ckanext.event_audit.enable_admin_panel = true
+```
+
+## Configuration with `ckanext-admin-panel`
+
+The `ckanext-admin-panel` allows you to configure the extension in real time from the web interface.
