The manual
A walkthrough of every screen in the Walis admin interface, in the order the sidebar presents them. Each page shows the screen, then explains what each control does and what it costs you to get wrong.
If you are looking for a list of capabilities rather than instructions, read the feature list. If you have not installed Walis yet, start with Getting started.

Signing in
Sign-in is off by default. With it off, everyone reaching the interface is treated as an administrator — which is the right default for a machine only you can reach, and the wrong one the moment it is exposed.
Turn it on in Settings → Security, and note the ordering constraint: you must create an administrator account before enabling sign-in, and Walis will not let you delete the last remaining account.
The one-time password field appears only for accounts that have TOTP enrolled. If the security setting requires OTP for all accounts, an account that has not yet enrolled can still sign in, but cannot turn OTP off afterwards.
