      "domain": "<domain-registered-on-mailgun>"
    }
  },
  "url": "<domain-name-on-which-this-is-setup>",
  "hashids": {
    "secret": "<hash-secret-for-unique-id-generation>",
    "no_chars": 4,
    "chars": "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ1234567890"
  },
  "contactEmail": "<email-for-contact-form>",
  "dbhost": "<mongodb-host-url",
  "sessionSecret": "<session-secret>",
  "fb": {
    "clientID": "<FB-app-id-for-login>",
    "clientSecret": "<fb-app-secret>",

Admin Access

To get access to admin panel, you'll have to manually mark a user as is_admin: true in the DB. You'll need MongoDB Compass or other similar tool for it.

Connect to DB
Select inno-site DB
Select accounts collection
Set is_admin: true for the required user
After that if you go to profile you'll have these extra buttons (also a button to add other event managers)
And if you are an Admin or an Event Manager (EM) you'll get access to edit event details and see participant info on event page
