summary: 'IM-based administration console'
...

Introduction
============

This module provides a console over XMPP. All the commands of the
mod\_admin\_telnet module are available from an XMPP client.

Only the Prosody admins (see the *admins* list in the Prosody
configuration file) can use this console.

Installation
============

Copy the mod\_admin\_message directory into a directory Prosody will
check for plugins (cf. [Installing
modules](http://prosody.im/doc/installing_modules)) and set up a
component:

    Component "console@example.com" "admin_message"

"console@example.com" is the identifier of the XMPP console.
