Admin

Description

Admin is a governance plugin developed and maintained by the Aragon core team. Unlike most governance plugins that store and manage proposals, Admin operates as a direct execution tool. While it supports the IProposal standard of Aragon OSx, it bypasses proposal storage entirely. Instead, users can create and immediately execute proposals in a single transaction.

This plugin is particularly useful in scenarios where the structure and process of proposals is required, but without the overhead of managing proposal data. The DAO grants EXECUTE_PERMISSION to the Admin plugin, allowing it to delegate this power via granting EXECUTE_PROPOSAL_PERMISSION to specific users or addresses. This means users of the plugin are indirectly granted execution rights within the DAO.

Core Functionalities

  • Users of the plugin can create and execute proposals in a single transaction using the createProposal or executeProposal function.

  • Metadata and actions are passed during execution, allowing the plugin to adhere to the concept of proposals while focusing on direct execution.

  • The plugin emits a ProposalCreated event followed immediately by a ProposalExecuted event.

Plugin Setup

  • Contracts: The AdminSetup contract contains the Admin plugin’s implementation and deploys new instances of the plugin using the minimal proxy.

  • Permissions: The AdminSetup establishes the following default permissions to ensure smooth operation and integration with the associated DAO:

Permission ID Where (Granted By) Who (Granted To) Condition Functions

EXECUTE_PROPOSAL_PERMISSION_ID

Admin Plugin

Admin Address

None

createProposal, executeProposal

EXECUTE_PERMISSION_ID

DAO

Admin Plugin

None

execute

SET_TARGET_CONFIG_PERMISSION_ID

Plugin

DAO

None

setTargetConfig

This setup ensures that the Admin plugin is ready for operation immediately after installation, with all required contracts deployed and permissions configured.
