Needs either mock data or a running Cerberus backend service to be useful.
Cerberus Management Dashboard is a web interface that lets teams manage their secret storage and access permissions without needing to contact an administrator. Think of it like a self-service portal for handling sensitive data, you can create storage boxes (called Safe Deposit Boxes), control who gets access to what, and organize your secrets all from one place. The dashboard runs as a React single-page application, which means it's a modern web app that loads once and then updates smoothly as you interact with it, no jarring page refreshes. Behind the scenes, it talks to the Cerberus system, which is a larger secret management platform built by Nike. The dashboard specifically handles the user-facing administration tasks: creating storage boxes, setting up access rules, and managing the data inside them. To use this locally as a developer, you have two options. You can run it with mock data, a simulated version of the backend system that's quick to set up, or you can run it with the actual backend service for more realistic testing. The README provides step-by-step setup instructions for either path, mostly targeting MacOS developers. The project includes convenient npm commands that handle starting a local development server with automatic code reloading, so changes you make appear instantly in your browser. Teams building on top of Cerberus would use this dashboard to give their engineers a simple way to manage secrets and access without needing special permissions or knowledge of command-line tools. It's the kind of tool that makes security practices more accessible: instead of filing tickets or asking ops teams, developers can handle routine tasks themselves.
