# Administration & reset

> Roles, runtime settings, and the annual reset

Harp separates who can do what with a small role hierarchy, and keeps everything event-specific in runtime settings so the platform survives from year to year.

## Roles

* Hackers manage their own application and use event-day tools.
* Admins run reviews, scans, and content, with granular per-area permissions (schedules, sponsors, FAQs) so organizers only touch what they own.
* Super admins control the hackathon's identity and configuration, manage user roles, and run protected workflows like the annual reset.

User search and role management are built into the super-admin UI.

## Runtime event configuration

The hackathon's name, event dates, contact details, application deadline, and feature toggles are database settings managed through a super-admin onboarding flow and settings pages. Feature toggles let organizers enable functionality (applications, wallet passes, and so on) as the event approaches, without any deploys.

## Annual reset

When the event ends, the reset workflow clears event-specific activity such as applications, reviews, scans, and notifications, while preserving reusable configuration like the application schema and scan types. Next year's team starts from a configured platform instead of an empty database.
