xLab UI admin mode
Closed, DeclinedPublic

Description

To make special modifications to experiment configuration currently requires directly accessing the backend database.

It would be helpful if, as a member of the Experiment Platform team, I could temporarily enable an "admin mode" during which:

  • all fields are editable
  • all validation is disabled

So that special modifications to experiment configurations could be made in UI.

pertinent even in a GrowthBook world because we might configure instruments in xLab for a while

Open Question for product research: who should be able to do this?

We've made almost all of the fields editable by end users, which reduces the need for admin mode.
