Changes to backend `.env` or database don't require rebuild. ### Q: What staff level do I need? **A:** You need `staffLevel >= 3` to access admin panel, or be listed in `ADMIN_STEAM_IDS`. ### Q: Can I customize toggle colors? **A:** Yes! Edit `frontend/src/components/ToggleSwitch.vue` and modify the gradient colors in the CSS. ### Q: Why am I still seeing old toggles? **A:** Clear your browser cache with Ctrl+Shift+R (or Cmd+Shift+R on Mac). Also ensure you rebuilt the frontend. ### Q: How do I find my Steam ID? **A:** Check your profile in the database, or use a Steam ID finder tool online with your Steam profile URL. ### Q: Can other users see the Debug tab? **A:** Only users with admin access (staffLevel >= 3) can see the entire admin panel, including the Debug tab. --- ## 🚨 Important Notes ### Security - ⚠️ Never share your ADMIN_STEAM_IDS publicly - ⚠️ Always use staffLevel 5 for super admins - ⚠️ Regularly review admin access in database ### Performance - ✅ Toggle component is lightweight - ✅ Debug panel only loads when accessed - ✅ Tests run on-demand, not continuously ### Browser Support - ✅ Chrome/Edge (latest) - ✅ Firefox (latest) - ✅ Safari (latest) - ⚠️ IE11 not supported --- ## 📞 Support & Resources ### Documentation - Full Guide: `ADMIN_TROUBLESHOOTING.md` - Technical Details: `ADMIN_IMPROVEMENTS_SUMMARY.md` - Quick Reference: `ADMIN_QUICK_FIX.md` ### Quick Commands ```bash # Check if backend is running curl http://localhost:3000/health # Check if frontend is running curl http://localhost:5173 # Rebuild frontend cd frontend && npm run build # Restart backend npm run dev ``` ### Need Help? 1.
