Strapi as AdminCP to Manage the Data of a Mobile App

Discord Q&A strapi-questions
1

Hello,

I was advised that I could also use Strapi to create an AdminCP for our app. This involves tasks such as approving and editing submitted verifications, adjusting user data, or banning users. I would like to hear your honest opinion on whether you would recommend Strapi for this purpose or if I should rather create a custom AdminCP.

There are many templates available on the internet, but that would need to build the underlying structure since the template usually only provides the design. It is important for me to have a navigation panel on the left side where you can select options like “Open Verifications” or “User Management” to easily display data in a table format. When you click on an entry, you can see the details of a user (email, name, registered devices, etc.).

I would be very thankful for your assessment… Currently, we use Strapi as a CMS for our blog, and it works great.

Thank you and best regards!

I assume that you would not recommend it to me since I have not received a response so far. So, you use Strapi only as a pure CMS for blogs and websites, right?

Well I havent personally tested it, but in theory, you could use strapi for what you want, without any issues…

np. for a more elaborate explanation to my answer, since you’re using api requests to communicate from your anything frontend to your strapi backend, that frontend could be anything - a react website, a react native app, anything that can make api request with restapi or graphql should work flawlessly with strapi. Strapi will provide you with all the endpoints you need for auth, localization, content management in general, you just have to utilize the various api’s that strapi will expose (with the appropriate security in place) in order to use strapi as a backend.
