Admin notes
Behaviour that is specific to administrators or that an admin should know about.
The admin integrations page
Under Administration → Open Register → Integrations, every registered leaf gets a row — including leaves whose backing app is not installed. Each row reports:
- install state (
enabled/ "needs<app>installed"), - auth status,
- storage strategy,
- a deep-link to configure the upstream source (for external leaves).
Disabled leaves still appear here so admins know what is available and how to turn it on — that is the third stage of the required-app gate.
Flow is admin-gated
The Flow leaf (workflowengine) scopes workflow rules to a schema/object. Workflow rules are an administrative surface, so configuring them is admin-gated — regular users see linked rules but do not author them from the object sidebar.
Activity is read-only
The Activity leaf lists Nextcloud Activity events relevant to an object. Those events are generated by Nextcloud core, not by Open Register, so the leaf is read-only by design: it uses the query-time storage strategy, has no link table, and exposes no link / create action. Over MCP it answers list / get but returns an error envelope on link / create. The same applies to Audit trail and Shares.
