First User​

  • The first user to sign up is the administrator
  • Only this user sees the Administration section and the signup toggle
  • First user ID is stored in app_settings.first_user_id and is immutable
  • Admin status is enforced on the server; the client cannot override it

Use Cases​

  • Public: Enable signup for self-registration; monitor users in Settings → Registered Users
  • Private: Disable signup; no one is allowed to signup
