# User Story

As an administrator, I want operational settings and audit visibility, so that I can manage player guidance and investigate activity.

# Acceptance Criteria

- [x] The admin console shows the deployment-managed Discord guild ID and linked invite URL.
- [x] An authorized administrator can update the denied-player registration message.
- [x] Settings actions validate message length server-side.
- [x] Administrators can browse the latest 100 events.
- [x] Event views show type, subject, IP, classification, and approximate location when available.
- [x] Admin console access itself creates an audit event with the SSO identity.
- [x] Settings, users, and events are linked from the shared admin navigation.

# Implementation

- [`apps/web/src/app/admin/(console)/page.tsx`](../apps/web/src/app/admin/%28console%29/page.tsx)
- [`apps/web/src/app/admin/(console)/actions.ts`](../apps/web/src/app/admin/%28console%29/actions.ts)
- [`apps/web/src/app/admin/(console)/events/page.tsx`](../apps/web/src/app/admin/%28console%29/events/page.tsx)

# Validation

Admin routes are dynamic, role-protected, linted, and included in every production build.
