## What it is
PowerDNS-Admin is a self-hosted web interface for managing the PowerDNS Authoritative Server. It provides DNS zone and record management with role-based access control, multiple authentication backends, and an API.

## Use cases
- manage powerdns dns zones from a web ui
- delegate dns record editing to teams with role-based access
- integrate dns admin login with ldap or saml single sign-on
- automate dns record creation via an api
- edit ipv6 ptr records easily
- apply zone templates for new domains
- audit dns changes with activity logging

## When to choose
- you run PowerDNS Authoritative Server and need a friendly admin UI
- you need per-zone access control and multi-user DNS management
- you want SSO (SAML, LDAP, OAuth) and 2FA for DNS administration
- you need an API on top of PowerDNS for automation

## When to avoid
- you use a DNS server other than PowerDNS
- you only need simple CLI-level DNS record changes without a web UI
- you run PowerDNS versions older than 5.0, which are no longer supported
