# Bypass Admin

{% hint style="success" %}
If you have followed the **installation steps** correctly, you should not need to **whitelist admins**.
{% endhint %}

[Installation](/lifeshield-api/installation.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}

To manage admin permissions properly, you must have at least **one main admin** with **god mode** enabled. This admin can be assigned directly through the **web panel** and will have access to the **admin menu**. From there, they can **grant access**, **authorize other admins**, and assign specific **bypass permissions** as needed. This ensures secure and centralized control over administrative privileges.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Having **god admin** status does **not** automatically grant you bypasses or permissions. You are like any other admin, except you have the **privilege** to **grant bypasses and authorizations** to yourself and others via the **admin panel**.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
When we mention the **admin panel**, we are referring to the **in-game admin menu**, accessible using the **/lf** command.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
And **remember**, if you have followed the **installation steps** correctly, you should not need to manually **whitelist admins** — **LifeShield** handles it automatically.
