Admin tab: overview
What it is
Section titled “What it is”The Admin tab is the admin-only landing page inside a syndicate. It is mounted as a tab on the syndicate detail screen, alongside Dashboard, Calendar, and Assets, and replaces what used to be a separate “Settings hub” screen.
The tab opens onto a single scrollable page with the Pending workbench pinned at the top and the rest of the admin destinations grouped into three labelled sections: Members & governance, Money, and Syndicate. The Pending workbench is the one-stop list of bookings, squawks, expenses, and unfinalised flights waiting on an admin’s decision; everything else routes outwards to a sub-screen.
Editing the syndicate’s name and description, and closing the syndicate, live on a dedicated Edit syndicate screen. Reach it from the pencil icon next to the syndicate name at the top of the syndicate detail screen, or from the Edit syndicate tile in the Syndicate section of this tab. Identity and destruction sit on their own screen so they are not touched during day-to-day admin work.
Who can use it
Section titled “Who can use it”- Admin: the Admin tab appears in the tab strip and the user can open it.
- Members and viewers: the Admin tab is not rendered. Members reach the Members list (the most frequently shared admin destination) via the My Syndicate card on the Dashboard. Every sub-screen also enforces the role check on the server so a hand-crafted route cannot bypass the UI.
Where to find it
Section titled “Where to find it”In the app:
- Open the syndicate.
- Tap Admin in the syndicate’s tab strip. For admins it sits after Calendar and Assets and before Profile, so it is the second-from-right tab (the Profile tab is appended after it).
The bare /syndicates/:syndicateId/settings route from the retired hub now redirects to the syndicate detail screen, which lands admins on the Admin tab. Sub-paths such as /syndicates/:syndicateId/settings/booking-policy still resolve directly for deep links and external callbacks.
For Edit syndicate, use the pencil icon next to the syndicate name at the top of the syndicate detail screen, or the Edit syndicate tile in the Syndicate section of the Admin tab. Route: /syndicates/:syndicateId/edit.
What’s on it
Section titled “What’s on it”The tab is organised as a pinned row at the top followed by three grouped sections.
Pinned: Pending
Section titled “Pinned: Pending”| Row | What it covers | Route |
|---|---|---|
| Pending | Bookings, squawks, expenses, and unfinalised flights waiting on an admin’s decision: the single workbench for everything queued for review. | /syndicates/:syndicateId/admin/pending |
A pending count badge also appears on the app-bar actions (not on the Admin tab icon), showing the same number as the Pending row, so admins can see at a glance whether anything needs attention without opening the tab.
Members & governance
Section titled “Members & governance”| Row | What it covers | Reference page |
|---|---|---|
| Members | Roles, shares, billing schemes, and pilot documents for each member. | (internal: see Members list) |
| Votes | Open and closed governance votes. | (internal: see Votes list) |
| Row | What it covers | Reference page |
|---|---|---|
| Cash calls | Issue and track ad-hoc charges across members. | (internal: see Cash calls) |
| Asset rates | Usage rates, event fees, fuel and oil units. Single- and multi-asset behaviour differ. | Billing and rates |
| Rate schemes | Member tiers with per-scheme rate modifiers. | Payments and schemes |
| Payments | Payment provider onboarding and Direct Debit settings. | Direct Debit |
Syndicate
Section titled “Syndicate”| Row | What it covers | Reference page |
|---|---|---|
| Booking policy | Approval rules, duration limits, and squawk confirmation. | Booking policy |

Behaviour rules
Section titled “Behaviour rules”- Admin-only tab. Members and viewers do not see the Admin tab in the tab strip. Every sub-screen also enforces the role check on the server, not just in the app.
- Navigation never leaves the syndicate context. Every destination routes under
/syndicates/:syndicateId/...so the breadcrumb always tells the user which syndicate they are configuring. - Pending count is live. The app-bar badge updates in real time as bookings, squawks, and expenses are approved or rejected elsewhere.
- Single-asset vs multi-asset matters on Asset rates only. See Default and per-asset settings for the cascade. The other destinations show the same fields regardless of asset count.
- Edit syndicate has its own screen. The Admin tab is for operational configuration, and the syndicate’s identity (name, description) and its closure sit on a separate Edit syndicate screen so they are not accidentally changed during routine admin work. That screen is reached both from the pencil icon next to the syndicate name and from the Edit syndicate tile in the Syndicate section.
- Tab position can be the user’s default landing tab. If an admin sets Admin as their preferred landing tab under user preferences, opening a syndicate goes straight here instead of the Dashboard.
