FiveM CAD Admin Panel: Complete Community Management Dashboard

Complete guide to the CDE CAD Admin Panel for FiveM server owners. Learn how to manage members, departments, charges, settings, domains, audit logs, and more from one powerful dashboard.

What is the Admin Panel?

The CDE CAD Admin Panel is the community administration page where server owners and administrators manage every aspect of their CAD system. It is the single hub for controlling members, departments, charges, community settings, domains, audit logs, and more. Think of it as your server's back office - the place where you configure how everything works before officers, dispatchers, and civilians ever see it. Access to the admin panel requires the Community Admin role, ensuring that only trusted leadership can make changes that affect the entire community. Whether you are onboarding new members, restructuring departments, updating your penal codes, or reviewing who did what and when, the admin panel gives you complete control from one unified interface.

Member Management

Managing your community starts with managing your people. The member management section of the admin panel gives you full control over who has access to your CAD and what they can do within it. You can add new members, remove inactive ones, and assign roles that determine their permissions across the entire system. Each member can be linked to their Discord ID for seamless integration between your CAD and your Discord server.

Department Configuration

Departments are the organizational backbone of your CAD. The admin panel lets you create, edit, and delete departments to match your server's structure. Whether you run a single police department or a multi-agency setup with LSPD, BCSO, state troopers, fire, and EMS, every department is fully customizable from the admin panel.

Charge & Penal Code Management

Your server's legal system lives in the admin panel. The charge management section lets you build and maintain your entire penal code database - every charge an officer can file, every fine they can levy, and every jail sentence they can impose. You have full control over creating individual charges, bulk importing from CSV files, and exporting your entire database for backup or migration.

Community Settings

The community settings section is where you define the identity and operational rules of your server. These settings affect how the CAD looks, how it behaves, and what rules are enforced automatically. From naming your jurisdiction to configuring automatic license suspensions, every detail of your server's CAD experience is controlled here.

Domain & Branding

A professional URL makes your community look established and legitimate. The domain and branding section of the admin panel lets you claim a free subdomain on cdecad.com or connect your own custom domain for a fully branded experience. Your members access your CAD through a clean URL instead of a generic link, reinforcing your server's identity from the moment they log in.

Audit Logs

Accountability is essential when multiple admins manage a community. The audit log section records every administrative action taken in your CAD - who did what, when they did it, and what changed. This is your complete action history for tracking changes, investigating issues, and ensuring that every modification to your community is documented and transparent.
