Want to support us?

If you want to support us financially, you can help fund the project through a Tidelift subscription. By buying a Tidelift subscription you make sure your whole dependency stack is properly maintained, while also getting a comprehensive view of outdated dependencies, new releases, security alerts, and licensing compatibility issues.

You can also support us with a weekly tip via Liberapay.

Finally, we have an Open Collective where you can become a backer or sponsor for the project, and also submit expenses to it.

Dependencies

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

Tool	Description
Arbre	Ruby -> HTML, just like that.
Devise	Powerful, extensible user authentication
Formtastic	A Rails form builder plugin with semantically rich and accessible markup
Inherited Resources	Simplifies controllers with pre-built RESTful controller actions
Kaminari	Elegant pagination for any sort of collection
Ransack	Provides a simple search API to query your data

Security contact information

Please use the Tidelift security contact to report a security vulnerability. Tidelift will coordinate the fix and disclosure.
