Administrator Terminal.
Every trading mobile app serving forex and exchange market operations needs a platform behind it, and the Administrator Terminal is where that platform is configured.
The Administrator Terminal is where the platform itself is configured. It comes with every tier of the forex trading platform for brokers.

Inside TM9 2.0.
The trader-facing app that an administrator's configuration supports, shown in TM9 2.0: real-time quotes, the portfolio hub, open positions, the EUR/USD chart with alerts and the balance, equity and margin panel.
What This Covers.
The TM9 Administrator Terminal is where brokers configure platform environments and the Trade, History, Access and Backup servers. Included in all license tiers.
Who uses it
The broker's platform administrators, rather than traders or desk staff.
In every tier
Included in Standard, Business and Express, alongside the Manager Terminal and the three client terminals.
Runs with the server set
It sits on top of the Trade, History, Access and Backup servers that come with your license.
The Administrator's Role in Practice.
Three short notes on the administrator's role: daily practice, what administration covers, and who does it.
Why keep administration in a separate terminal?
Administrators need the platform view rather than the trading view: configuration, environments and the servers behind them. Keeping that in a separate terminal means desk staff and traders never see controls they should not touch.
What does administering a TM9 environment involve?
Administration covers the environment rather than the trading: how terminals connect through the Access Server, how history is retained, and how backups run. Those choices are usually settled during the rollout planning call.
Who at the broker uses the Administrator Terminal?
The Administrator Terminal is for platform and infrastructure staff at the broker: the people who configure environments, manage access, and work with the server set rather than the markets.
Where This Fits.
How terminals sits inside the wider TM9 platform. For how the terminals fit together across mobile, web and desktop, see the TM9 home page.
The terminal set
Every TM9 license includes five terminals: Client Desktop, Web, Client Mobile, Manager and Administrator. Traders use the first three, broker desk staff use the Manager Terminal, and platform administrators use the Administrator Terminal. The tiers differ in account volume and trade-server count, never in which terminals you get.
Five terminals, one platform
Client Desktop, Web and Client Mobile serve traders; Manager serves the broker desk; Administrator serves the platform team. All five ship in Standard, Business and Express, and the client terminals share watchlists, layouts and open orders in real time. A trader can prepare on desktop, check in from the Web Terminal and manage the position from a phone without rebuilding anything.
Good to know
All five terminals are included in Standard, Business and Express, so the trader, desk and administrator experience is the same at every tier. Watchlists, layouts and open orders sync between the client terminals in real time. The Web Terminal needs no installation, which makes it the quickest route for new clients.
