• User Management: Approve, manage, and monitor all platform users
• Vendor Oversight: Review and approve vendor applications and products
• Transaction Monitoring: Track all financial transactions and commissions
• Platform Analytics: Generate reports and insights on platform performance

Core Models Used

The Admin module primarily works with existing shared models:

UserProfile Model

class UserProfile(models.Model):
    ROLE_CHOICES = [
        ("business_owner", "Business Owner"),
        ("reseller", "Reseller"), 
        ("admin", "Admin"),
        ("pending", "Pending Role")
    ]
    user = models.OneToOneField(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    phone = models.CharField(max_length=20)
    role = models.CharField(max_length=20, choices=ROLE_CHOICES, default="pending")
    industry = models.CharField(max_length=100, null=True, blank=True)

Business Model

class Business(models.Model):
    business_name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
    business_email = models.EmailField()
    industry = models.CharField(max_length=50, choices=INDUSTRY_CHOICES)
    company_size = models.CharField(max_length=20, choices=COMPANY_SIZE_CHOICES)
    country = models.CharField(max_length=50, choices=COUNTRY_CHOICES)
    postal_code = models.CharField(max_length=20)

Plan and Feature Models

class Plan(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
    badge = models.CharField(max_length=50, blank=True, null=True)
    description = models.TextField(blank=True, null=True)
    price = models.DecimalField(max_digits=10, decimal_places=2)
    yearly_price = models.DecimalField(max_digits=10, decimal_places=2)
    is_active = models.BooleanField(default=True)
    display_order = models.PositiveIntegerField(default=0)

class Feature(models.Model):
    plan = models.ForeignKey(Plan, on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name='features')
    name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
    value = models.CharField(max_length=100)

Adding New Admin Features

1. Define the Model: If new data structures are needed, add them to models/
2. Create Service: Implement business logic in services/admin_service.py
3. Build Repository: Add data access methods in repositories/
4. Create API: Add REST endpoints in api/v1/views/
5. Add Web Interface: Create admin interface views in views/
6. Write Tests: Add comprehensive tests in tests/

Security Considerations

• Authentication: All admin endpoints require admin role verification
• Authorization: Implement permission checks for sensitive operations
• Audit Logging: Log all admin actions for compliance and security
• Data Validation: Validate all input data through serializers and forms

Testing Strategy

• Unit Tests: Test individual services and utilities
• Integration Tests: Test API endpoints and database interactions
• Permission Tests: Verify access controls and role-based permissions
• Performance Tests: Test admin dashboard performance with large datasets
