Admin panels custom-built for your team — shipped in hours, not months
Your engineers have database access. Everyone else has a spreadsheet or a Slack message asking for help. Build purpose-built admin panels on top of real data — with the UI you need, the governance your security team requires, and none of the overhead. Connect to PostgreSQL, MongoDB, DynamoDB, BigQuery, REST APIs, and more. Ship in hours, not months.
Engineering governs. Everyone else can execute.
Expose only what each role needs to see and do. Queries and write operations are defined by engineering; business teams get a clean UI to work in. Granular permissions, audit logs, and SAML SSO are built in.
One place, one interface. Empower every team to query your data.
Stop juggling a different console for every database and API. Pull data from Postgres, MongoDB, DynamoDB, Shopify, Salesforce, and REST APIs into a single admin panel — with filtering, pagination, search, and full CRUD.
Your apps: custom-fit, not generic
Every admin panel has unique requirements — user approval flows, feature flag management, and KYC review. Retool's drag-and-drop builder and 100+ pre-built components let you configure exactly the right UI, with JavaScript for anything that needs custom logic.

Everything you need to build, ship, and govern admin panels
Native connections to any data source
Native integrations with PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, Oracle, MongoDB, DynamoDB, BigQuery, Redshift, Firebase, Google Sheets, Shopify, REST APIs, GraphQL, gRPC, and more. One panel can combine data from multiple sources.
Complete drag-and-drop component library
Tables with built-in sorting, filtering, and pagination. Search inputs, buttons, dropdowns, forms, tabbed containers — all pre-built, all composable. No frontend engineering required.
Full CRUD with safe write access
Read, create, update, and delete records through the UI. Write operations are query-controlled, so teams can only make changes engineering has explicitly allowed.
Complete governance, not just permissions
Per-user and per-group permissions restrict who can see, edit, or trigger actions on specific data. Full audit logs record who did what and when — critical for compliance in regulated industries.
Enterprise-grade authentication
SAML SSO and 2FA out of the box. No additional configuration needed to meet enterprise security requirements.
AI-assisted panel generation
Describe what you need — a user management interface, a CRUD panel for DynamoDB, an approval workflow — and Retool generates a schema-aware starting point. Engineers refine and deploy; no one builds scaffolding from scratch.
Common questions about admin panels
Retool has native integrations with PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, Oracle, MongoDB, DynamoDB, BigQuery, Redshift, Firebase, Google Sheets, Shopify, REST APIs, GraphQL, gRPC, and more. You can combine multiple data sources in a single panel — no middleware required.
Native consoles are built for infrastructure management, not day-to-day business operations. They expose raw data with no role-based access, no business-friendly UI, and no audit trail. Retool gives you a purpose-built interface with granular permissions, controlled write operations, and a UI designed for non-technical users.
Yes. Retool supports per-user and per-group permissions, so you can restrict who can view, edit, or trigger actions on specific data. Write operations are query-controlled by engineering, meaning business teams can't make unintended changes. SAML SSO and 2FA are also built in.
Most teams have a working admin panel in hours, not weeks. With 100+ drag-and-drop components, native database integrations, and AI-assisted panel generation, you can go from a blank canvas to a deployed tool in a single sitting. Engineers refine and lock down permissions; no one builds scaffolding from scratch.
No. Retool's drag-and-drop builder is designed for anyone who can write a SQL query. That said, JavaScript is available anywhere in the app for custom logic, multi-step workflows, and conditional flows — so engineering teams can extend the panel as far as they need.
Yes. Describe what you need — a user management interface on your Postgres database, a CRUD panel for DynamoDB, an approval workflow on top of your REST API — and Retool's AI generates a schema-aware starting point. From there, customize the UI, permissions, and logic to match your exact requirements.
