Platform administrator overview

Platform administrators hold the PlatformAdministrator role. You manage the shared infrastructure every account depends on — the AI providers and models, the language and voice catalogue, platform connectors, pricing and P&L, and the compliance and operations tooling. Most of these surfaces live under Settings and Dashboards in the Studio Console and are visible only to administrators.

Admin-only, platform-wide

Changes here affect every account, not just your own. Enum ordinals, provider configuration, and pricing are deliberately hard to change once live. Read the relevant page before editing.

A tour of the administrator surfaces (each is documented in its own page):

1. AI providers & models — register providers, models, roles and capabilities; watch provider health.
2. Languages & voices — the language catalogue, voice variants and the accent taxonomy.
3. Platforms & distribution — distribution connectors and platform controls.
4. Finance & P&L — account / customer / platform profit-and-loss, markup and budgets.
5. Compliance & governance — DSAR, takedowns, the operator audit log, content safety.
6. Operations & reliability — alerts, escalation, the dead-letter queue and production recovery.
