Admin Dashboard

The admin section provides platform-wide management tools. It is restricted to users with role === "admin" in their profile record. Non-admin users attempting to access any /admin route are redirected to /feed.

Route map

Route	File	Description
/admin	(app)/admin/+page.svelte	Admin dashboard overview
/admin/users	(app)/admin/users/+page.svelte	User management
/admin/posts	(app)/admin/posts/+page.svelte	Post moderation
/admin/products	(app)/admin/products/+page.svelte	Product moderation
/admin/jobs	(app)/admin/jobs/+page.svelte	Job listing moderation
/admin/ads	(app)/admin/ads/+page.svelte	Ad campaign management
/admin/categories	(app)/admin/categories/+page.svelte	Category management
/admin/blacklist	(app)/admin/blacklist/+page.svelte	Blacklisted words/terms
/admin/reports	(app)/admin/reports/+page.svelte	User reports and flagged content

All routes require admin role (authentication + onboarding + profile.role === "admin").

Layout

The admin section has its own +layout.svelte and +layout.server.ts at (app)/admin/. The layout adds an admin-specific sidebar with navigation links to each sub-page, nested inside the standard app shell.

Route protection

The guard in hooks.server.ts checks admin routes in two steps:

1. isProtectedRoute(path) returns true for anything starting with /admin — requires authentication.
2. isAdminRoute(path) triggers an additional database query to verify profile.role === "admin". If the role check fails, the user is redirected to /feed.

Dashboard (/admin)

The admin home page shows platform-level statistics and activity summaries — total users, recent signups, pending reports, active ads, and content counts.
