Server pgAdmin
Server pgAdmin opens the installed PostgreSQL administration interface through a short-lived SHM sign-in handoff and prepares the restricted provider role used by this workflow.
Where to find it: Open the Server menu and choose Server pgAdmin. Conditional items appear only when their service is installed and available.
Available to: Root only.
What this page does
Use it for provider-level PostgreSQL inspection and administration. Account-owned databases and roles should still be managed through their account PostgreSQL pages or documented API routes whenever those narrower tools are sufficient.
Before you start
The item is conditional on PostgreSQL and pgAdmin being installed and ready. Provider-level database work can cross customer boundaries, so confirm the target server, database, schema, and role before changing anything.
Conditional access
SHM shows the launcher only when the current service plan and detected runtime provide PostgreSQL plus pgAdmin. If it is absent, check Services and Status rather than bookmarking a private launcher URL.
Session safety
The generated handoff is short-lived and intended for the current browser session. Do not share its URL. Use account-scoped PostgreSQL credentials for applications and reserve the provider pgAdmin workflow for work that genuinely requires it.
How to use it
- Verify PostgreSQL and pgAdmin health.
- Open Server > pgAdmin.
- Confirm the expected server registration and provider role.
- Inspect or change only the required database object.
- Verify the affected account application, then close the session.
Result and next check
The browser opens pgAdmin using the controlled SHM handoff. A successful launch proves access preparation; it does not prove that a later SQL or schema change was correct.
