+## 🛠 Admin Portal
+
+We've shipped the **Dalgo Admin Portal** (`/admin`) — a platform operations hub for managing organizations, users, feature flags, and broadcast notifications, accessible only to platform admins.
+
+### Organization management
+
+- Create orgs with plan, billing frequency, Superset config, and start/end dates for trial accounts
+- Edit all org fields from the portal (was read-only before)
+- Delete an org with a pre-flight impact check that shows exactly how many users, warehouses, connections, pipelines, dashboards, and charts will be destroyed — the confirm button stays locked until those numbers have loaded
+- Org detail page with Overview, Users, and Feature flags tabs
+
+### User management
+
+- Invite users to an org, change their role, and remove them — all from the admin portal, bypassing the per-org role caps that apply to in-org admins
+- Removal shows the same pre-flight impact warning
+
+### Broadcast notifications
+
+- Compose and send a broadcast to the whole platform, a single org, or a selection of orgs
+- Narrow by Superset clients only
+- Choose in-app, email, or both
+- Live recipient count preview before you send
+- Full send history with pagination
+- Draft is preserved if you tab away or if a send fails
+
+### Feature flags
+
+- Toggle platform features (Reports, Data Quality, etc.) on or off per org
+
+### Security model
+
+- Every admin route is gated on `UserAttributes.is_platform_admin` — Django superusers without that flag are rejected
+- Multi-tenancy verified: deleting an org cleans up only that org's data; users in multiple orgs keep their accounts and other memberships
