Quick Start for Admins

If you're new to administering Edison Watch, follow these steps:

1. Configure Servers

Go to the Servers tab to add the MCP servers your team needs (e.g., Filesystem, GitHub).

2. Set Tool Permissions

Within each server's configuration, classify tools by their risk level (Private Data, Untrusted Content, etc.). This determines when users must approve actions.

3. Review User Access

Visit the Users tab to see who has authenticated. Promote trusted team members to the Admin role if they need to manage configurations.

4. Monitor Activity

Use the Sessions and Agents tabs to watch data flows in real-time and identify high-risk activity patterns.
