Introduction

Site Security

Admin Tools is a true Swiss Army knife for your site. Our freely available Admin Tools Core fix your files' and directories' permissions, protect your administrator directory with a password, migrate links pointing to your old domain on-the-fly and perform database maintenance, all with a single click. Now with Joomla! 5 support!


We have two currently maintained version families. Admin Tools 7: Joomla 4, PHP 7.2 or later. Admin Tools 6: Joomla 3.10, PHP 7.2 or later. Older versions for end–of–life versions of PHP and Joomla available without support on our site.

A commercial edition (Admin Tools Professional) with extra security-oriented features is also available from our site for a fee. This listing is about the free version, Admin Tools Core.

The software is free of charge, its support is not. You need a subscription to request support. However, its documentation, the troubleshooting information, video tutorials and searching the public tickets is free of charge.

Note: Admin Tools 7 is actively supported on Joomla! 4 and 5. Admin Tools 6 for Joomla! 3 is on security maintenance (no new features or bug fixes will be released).

Best admin tool ever

very very good

Excellent work, this should be bundled with the Joomla core !
Akeeba Adnin Tools is another one of those extensions that every Joomla! site should have. I have it in all my client's websites and also in my localhost install package that I use to develop new sites. Together with Akeeba Backup it has everything you need to keep your site(s) safe.



I love its ability to change the default super-admin user as well as the database prefix. That's security 101 for every Joomla! site.



Akeeba's support is amazing and their docs are the most complete I've ever seen.



Thanks, Nicholas, for another awesome extension!
Five stars all the way. This extension does a lot of the things the Joomla core should already be doing and all with the ease of a click. Helps you harden your site against exploits as well giving you the ease and simplicity of one click updates for your version of Joomla. This is a fantastic extension no Joomla install should be without. Try it; you'll love it. I did and I do. Thanks Nicholas for this. It's awesome!
After reading about the steps required to secure a Joomla site against hacking (http://docs.joomla.org/Category:Security_Checklist)I was wondering whether to take a chance at renaming the sql databases and so on, when I came across this extension. It covered almost every step that the security checklist advised me to do, and hence saved me hours of work and innumerable gray hairs!

The only significant point that is not covered (and is present in the Pro edition) is a secure htaccess file, but you can easily get a master file which was edited by the same developer, from the Joomla Security Centre and modify it for your site.

This is such an excellent piece of software, along with the other offering from the developer (Akeeba Backup) that I am seriously considering buying a Pro version just to express my support, though I dont really need the additional benefits of the Pro edition.

Amazing

I initially downloaded this just for the joomla update feature but it actually has so many useful tools.



The security features point out things which you may not have thought about and are really easy to use.



Will be installing this on all future joomla sites, its a must have!

Grate extension

Lovely extension and very nice support.
I really love this extension, is 1 of the first extension I install when I have build a new website in joomla. I suggest to anyone to give it a try and I'm pretty sure that noone will remove the extension.

Thank a lot to the Akeeba developer, even for Akeeba Backup, which is another of my favorite extension.
