Active Admin is a Ruby on Rails framework for creating elegant backends for website administration.

This is a significant fork of the original Active Admin project starting in 2018 with v1.3.1 and abandoning v2.0.0.alpha started one year earlier.

This fork aims to make it simpler and more Rails-like without dropping the rich functionality that made Active Admin a leading choice for a decade. See CHANGELOG for more details.

Active Admin is open source software, free as in puppy. As of writing this software is in production with at least one mid-size business, but Varyonic has no plans to provide commercial support - let us know if you do.

1. Enable developers to quickly create good-looking administration interfaces.
2. Follow Rails conventions that make the framework easy to understand and customize.

We try not to reinvent the wheel, so Active Admin is built with other open source projects:
