The Credible Admin Portal provides a browser-based UI to explore and manage your semantic model resources across organizations, projects, and packages.

​
Access the Admin Portal

Access your admin portal at https://<your-org>.admin.credibledata.com (replace your-org with your organization name).

​
Overview

The Portal is organized by a three-level hierarchy:
  • Organizations → Projects → Packages
You can navigate this hierarchy from the left-hand menu. The main panel displays details of the selected resource (organization, project, or package), and the right-hand menu contains admin-specific controls relevant to the selected level.

​
Organizations

Selecting an organization displays its projects and packages. For example, the demo organization contains a project called malloy-samples and several packages like auto-recalls and bq-ga-sessions.

​
Admin Controls

The controls are in the side menu in the bottom left corner. The controls include:
  • Create Projects
  • Manage Members
  • View Admin Analytics (in development)

​
User Management

Click Manage Members in the menu to view existing users and their roles or invite new ones.
  • Admins have full access to all projects and packages.
  • Modelers can list projects and may have view/edit rights based on permissions.
Note: You must be an Admin or Modeler in an organization to log into the Credible Admin Portal.

​
Admin Analytics (Coming Soon)

This feature will offer insights on:
  • Cost optimization
  • Performance monitoring
  • Security analysis
These analytics will leverage AI-powered experiences to help platform administrators operate efficiently and securely.

​
Projects

Selecting a project displays its packages and optionally a project-level README.

​
Project-Level Controls

  • Share Project
  • Delete Project
  • Manage Connections

​
Sharing Projects

You can share a project with others as:
  • Admins – can create/delete packages and connections.
  • Modeleres – can create/delete packages and use connections — but can not view or update connection configurations.

​
Connection Management

Credible allows you to manage connections to various databases per project. Packages reference these connections by name. Supports:
  • Postgres
  • BigQuery
  • Snowflake
  • MySQL
  • Presto / Trino
Projects can be aligned with dev/staging/prod environments to restrict access accordingly.

​
Packages

Selecting a package displays its manifest, semantic model files, notebooks, README, and embedded databases.

​
Package-Level Controls

  • Share or Delete Package
  • View and Manage Versions

​
Sharing Packages

Package-level permissions allow more granular access:
  • Editors – can modify contents
  • Viewers – read-only access
Users with project-level permissions inherit access at the package level, but this is shown as read-only/grayed out in the UI.

​
Package Versioning

All packages are versioned by default. You can:
  • View version history
  • Pin a version as the default (latest)
Each version can be referenced via API using the version tag.

​
Exploring Package Contents

A typical Credible package includes:
  • publisher.json – manifest file with metadata and dependencies
  • README.md – optional documentation
  • Malloy model files – define semantic structure
  • Malloy notebooks – interactive reports and data stories
  • Embedded databases – CSV/Parquet files loaded into DuckDB

​
Models

Model files open in the model UI and define reusable sources and extended sources (joins, measures, dimensions, views).
  • A source = table + semantic metadata
  • Promotes modular, reusable logic

​
Notebooks

The notebook UI enables interactive data exploration through semantic models.
  • Each cell shows its query and result
  • Designed to simplify complex queries and tell data stories

​
Next Steps

  1. Log into the Credible Admin Portal.
  2. Select the ‘malloy-samples’ project.
  3. Explore Packages, Notebooks, and Models.
