Administration Panel
The master control centre of the entire SLMT LMS — the Administration Panel sits above all departmental portals and governs institution-wide structure, personnel, academic configuration, and system-level settings. Everything an HOD, Teacher, Director, or Student can access flows from what the Administration team configures here.
Role & Authority
The Administration Panel is accessed by the Super-Admin / Institute Administrator — typically the IT administrator, Principal's office, or a designated ERP manager. This role has the highest privilege level in the system and is responsible for:
Onboarding All Users
Creating HOD accounts, registering the Director, setting up Exam Coordinators, and managing IQAC personnel.
Academic Architecture
Defining the institution's complete academic hierarchy — departments, courses, semesters, years, and divisions.
Policy Configuration
Setting leave quotas, feedback campaigns, designation lists, and achievement categories that all departments inherit.
System Governance
Institution branding, email configuration, QPMS administration, and cross-department report generation.
Important: The Administration Panel is the first place to configure when setting up SLMT LMS for a new institution. No HOD can log in, no student can be added, and no academic activity can begin until the Administration team completes the foundational setup described in this documentation.
System Architecture
The Administration Panel sits at the apex of a layered access hierarchy. All data flows downward — Administration → HOD → Teacher → Student.
