Next steps

Configure the Admin Panel to be displayed to logged-in backend admins the
TypoScript configuration :ref:`config.admPanel = 1 <typoscript-config-admpanel>`.

By default, the admin panel is displayed to logged-in admins only. This behaviour
can be changed by setting :ref:`admPanel.enable <tsconfig-admpanel-enable>` for
certain backend users or groups.
