Admin Dashboard

Admin Dashboard

The Admin Dashboard is a protected area restricted to users with the ADMIN role. It provides comprehensive control over elections and users.

Manage Elections

The Manage Elections tab is the primary workspace for election lifecycle management.

Election Lifecycle

Admins control the state of an election through the following buttons:

1. Schedule: Transitions DRAFT -> SCHEDULED.
2. Start: Transitions SCHEDULED -> ACTIVE.
3. End: Transitions ACTIVE -> COMPLETED.

Creating an Election

The “Create New Election” modal allows admins to:

• Define election metadata (Name, Type, Dates, Location).
• Add Candidates:
  • Candidates are added to a temporary list before election creation.
  • Image Upload: Admins upload candidate photos directly during this phase.
  • The system handles the complex flow of creating the election entity first, then uploading images for each candidate.

Results Management

• Calculate Results: Triggers the backend calculation engine.
• View Results: Displays the current vote tallies.
• Publish/Unpublish: Controls whether results are visible to voters on their dashboard.

Manage Users

The Manage Users tab provides a searchable interface for the user database.

• Search: Admins can search by Name, ID, Email, Phone, Aadhar, Voter ID, PAN, or Passport.
• Edit: Opens the EditUserModal to modify user details. Critical identity fields (Aadhar, Voter ID) are locked to prevent tampering.

Code Structure

• AdminDashboard.jsx: Main container, handles Election state and tab switching.
• ManageUsers.jsx: Sub-component specifically for the User search and edit table.
