Admin workbench

Admin workbench

The workbench is a token-gated dashboard the companion serves locally. It is for the licence holder or the institution's IT lead — the end user never sees it.

Open it

Right-click the tray icon → Open Admin Workbench, or visit http://127.0.0.1:7731/admin/. You will be asked for the admin token.

The admin token

The desktop build generates a strong admin token on first run and stores it in config.json in the app-data folder. Open that file to read the admin_token value and paste it into the login. The token travels only in a request header, never in the URL.

What it shows

  • Dashboard — total events, average confidence, low-confidence count, which recognisers fired.
  • Corpus browser — every redaction event: type, score, recogniser, the synthetic replacement, and the surrounding sentence with all entities masked. Original values are stored only as salted hashes.
  • Export — download the corpus as JSONL for a compliance review or a detection-tuning cycle.
  • Clear — archive the corpus and start fresh (renames to a backup; reversible by hand).

Privacy posture

The corpus never leaves the machine — the companion does not upload it anywhere. It is designed so a data-protection officer can inspect it safely: it shows the shape of what was caught, never the content.

Enterprise: central deployment

Enterprise licences can run the companion on a shared host. Bind it explicitly with the documented environment variables, set the admin token via the environment, and the same workbench serves your security team. Talk to us for a deployment review.
