Admin Panel

Centralized management for team administrators to configure workspace settings enforced across all team members.

What is the Admin Panel?

The Admin Panel provides team administrators with centralized control over organization-wide settings in Warp. It allows you to manage workspace settings that are enforced across all members of your team.

Admin Panel access is restricted to team administrators. Right now, only the creator of a team is the designated admin. If your admin has setup styles that override user preferences, you will not be able to control them inside of Warp, and you'll see a note that your admin has configured this setting.

Key features:

  • AI Settings - Control agent autonomy, permissions, and allowlists across your team

  • Privacy Controls - Configure data collection and enterprise secret redaction

  • Billing Management - Set spending limits and manage usage-based pricing

  • Code Settings - Control codebase indexing and context features

  • Sharing Policies - Manage link sharing and collaboration permissions

Accessing the Admin Panel

Team administrators can access the Admin Panel directly at https://app.warp.dev/admin/

How Settings Enforcement Works

The Admin Panel uses a tier-based policy system to determine which settings administrators can control:

Toggleable vs. Fixed Settings

Toggleable settings can be modified by team administrators. These appear as dropdown menus with options like:

  • Enabled/Disabled for boolean settings

  • Specific autonomy levels for AI settings

  • Respect User Setting to allow individual control

Fixed settings are determined by your billing tier and cannot be changed. These appear with a message: "Configuring this setting is not available on your plan."

Setting Inheritance

When administrators configure organization-wide settings:

  1. Organization enforced - Setting applies to all team members regardless of individual preferences

  2. Respect user setting - Allows individual team members to control the setting themselves

  3. Tier restricted - Setting is locked to default values based on billing plan

User Experience

Any changes made in the Admin Panel can take effect immediately for all team members. Consider testing settings in Warp before applying organization-wide policies.

When organization settings override individual preferences:

  • Users see their personal settings grayed out

  • A message indicates "your organization has configured this setting"

  • Users cannot modify settings that are organizationally enforced

Plan Limitations

The features available in the Admin Panel vary by billing tier:

Free Tier

  • Most settings are fixed and non-toggleable

  • Limited codebase context and sharing features

Business Plans

  • Most settings become toggleable by administrators

  • Enhanced AI autonomy control

  • Advanced sharing and privacy features

Enterprise Plans

  • Full admin control over all settings

  • Enterprise secret redaction

  • Custom LLM integration

  • Advanced compliance features

Admin Panel Sections

The Admin Panel is organized into five main sections, each focused on a specific area of team management:

AI Settings

Configure how Agents behave across your organization, including autonomy levels and command permissions.

General AI Settings

AI in Remote Sessions Controls whether AI features are available during SSH sessions and remote connections. Enterprise plans can toggle this setting, while Free tier teams have it enabled by default.

Prompt Summarization Caching When conversations become long enough to require summarization, this setting allows the summary to be cached temporarily by the LLM provider to improve performance.

Autonomy Settings

Configure how much independence Agents have when performing different actions:

Apply Code Diffs

  • Agent Decides - Agent acts autonomously when confident, asks for approval when uncertain

  • Always Ask - Require explicit approval before applying any code changes

  • Always Allow - Apply code diffs without confirmation

  • Respect User Setting - Allow individual users to control this setting

Create Plans Controls whether Agents can create structured task plans without user approval.

Execute Commands Manages Agent's ability to run terminal commands autonomously.

Read Files Controls Agent access to reading files in the codebase.

Directory and Command Control

Directory Allowlist Specify directories where Agents can read files without restriction. Use paths like ~/git/repo1 to grant access to specific project folders.

Command Allowlist Regular expressions matching commands that Agent Mode can execute without asking permission. Common examples:

  • grep .* - Text search commands

  • ls(\\s.*)? - Directory listing

  • which .* - Finding executable locations

Command Denylist Regular expressions for commands that always require explicit user approval, even if they would normally be allowed. Examples:

  • rm -rf.* - Recursive file deletion

  • sudo.* - Administrative commands

  • curl.* - Network requests

Privacy Settings

Manage data collection and security policies for your organization.

UGC Data Collection Controls how Warp collects and uses user-generated content to improve the service:

  • Disabled - No UGC data collection

  • Enabled - Allow data collection for service improvement

  • Respect User Setting - Let individual users decide

Enterprise Secret Redaction When enabled, applies regex patterns to prevent secrets from being sent to Warp servers or LLM providers. This feature is available on Enterprise plans and includes:

  • Automatic detection of common secret patterns

  • Custom regex patterns for organization-specific secrets

  • Unconditional application across all team members

Code Settings

Control codebase indexing and AI code features for your team.

Codebase Context Determines whether Warp indexes your team's Git repositories to provide context for AI features:

  • Disabled - No codebase indexing

  • Enabled - Index codebases for improved AI responses

  • Respect User Setting - Allow individual control

Higher tier plans support more indexed repositories and larger file limits per codebase.

Billing Settings

Configure billing preferences and spending controls.

Usage Based Pricing Enable pay-as-you-go billing for AI requests beyond your plan's included quota. When enabled, you can set:

Monthly Spending Limit Set a maximum monthly overage spending limit to control costs. The system displays current overage usage including:

  • Total overage requests used

  • Current month's overage costs

Sharing Settings

Control how team members can share Warp Drive objects and collaborate.

Direct Link Sharing Allow team members to share Notebooks, Workflows, and other objects via direct links.

Anyone with Link Sharing Enable public access to shared objects - anyone with the link can view the content without being a team member.
