BACKEND SETTINGS ARCHITECTURE

The Problem

Previously, settings used an "aws-admin fallback" pattern where:

• Each account had their own settings
• Missing settings would fallback to aws-admin account
• Created confusion: were they global or account-specific?
• If aws-admin account was deleted, global settings would be lost
• API keys appeared per-account when they were actually shared

The Solution

Implemented a clean separation:

• Truly Global Settings - Platform-wide defaults with no account association
• Optional Account Overrides - Enterprise customers can use their own API keys
• Global Template Libraries - Reusable templates that accounts can clone/customize

New Global Settings Models

GlobalIntegrationSettings (Singleton)

• Purpose: Platform-wide default API keys and AI model configurations
• Pattern: Single instance (pk=1) enforced via save override
• Fields: OpenAI, DALL-E, Anthropic, Runware API keys and model settings
• Access Method: GlobalIntegrationSettings.get_instance()
• Who Manages: Superusers via Django Admin

AccountIntegrationOverride (OneToOne with Account)

• Purpose: Optional per-account API key overrides for enterprise customers
• Pattern: Only created when account wants custom keys
• Fields: use_own_keys flag, all API settings (nullable)
• Methods: get_effective_openai_settings(), get_effective_dalle_settings()
• Who Uses: Enterprise accounts with their own API keys

GlobalAIPrompt

• Purpose: Platform-wide library of AI prompt templates
• Pattern: Global library that all accounts can reference
• Fields: prompt_type (unique), prompt_value, description, variables, version
• Usage: Default prompts for clustering, content generation, ideas, etc.
• Versioning: Track changes with version field

GlobalAuthorProfile

• Purpose: Platform-wide library of author persona templates
• Pattern: Accounts clone these to create customized versions
• Fields: name, description, tone, language, structure_template, category
• Categories: saas, ecommerce, blog, technical, creative
• Usage: Provides starting points for content personas

GlobalStrategy

• Purpose: Platform-wide library of content strategy templates
• Pattern: Accounts clone and customize for their needs
• Fields: name, description, prompt_types, section_logic, category
• Usage: Pre-built strategies for different content types

Modified Existing Models

AIPrompt (Account-Based)

• Added: is_customized field - tracks if modified from global
• Removed: default_prompt field - replaced by global reference
• New Method: reset_to_global() - resets to global default
• Pattern: Account-specific with global fallback

AuthorProfile (Account-Based)

• Added: is_custom field - distinguishes user-created vs cloned
• Added: cloned_from field - ForeignKey to GlobalAuthorProfile
• Pattern: Clone global templates or create custom from scratch

Strategy (Account-Based)

• Added: is_custom field - distinguishes user-created vs cloned
• Added: cloned_from field - ForeignKey to GlobalStrategy
• Pattern: Clone global templates or create custom from scratch

Settings Lookup Logic

Integration Settings (API Keys)

1. Check if account has AccountIntegrationOverride
2. If yes and use_own_keys=True, return override settings
3. Otherwise, return GlobalIntegrationSettings.get_instance()
4. Result: Seamless for code, flexible for admins

AI Prompts

1. Check if account has AIPrompt for prompt_type
2. If yes and is_customized=True, use account's prompt
3. Otherwise, look up GlobalAIPrompt for that prompt_type
4. Result: Accounts can customize or use global defaults

Templates (Profiles & Strategies)

1. Accounts browse global library
2. Clone template to create account-specific copy
3. Customize the clone without affecting global
4. Track origin via cloned_from field
5. Can reset to global anytime if needed

Migration

File: backend/igny8_core/modules/system/migrations/0002_add_global_settings_models.py

What It Does:

• Creates 5 new global settings tables
• Adds fields to 3 existing models (is_customized, is_custom, cloned_from)
• Preserves all existing data
• No data loss or downtime

CONFIGURATION REFERENCE

Managing Global AI Settings

When to Use Global Settings:

• Most accounts (95%+) should use global
• Simpler for users (no API key management)
• Lower costs (bulk API usage rates)
• Centralized monitoring
• Automatic updates when upgrading models

When to Allow Account Overrides:

• Enterprise customers with security requirements
• Customers with existing OpenAI agreements
• Accounts needing specific model versions
• High-volume customers wanting usage control
• Partners/resellers managing own costs

Setting Up Account Override:

1. Navigate to /admin/system/accountintegrationoverride/
2. Click "Add account integration override"
3. Select target account
4. Check "Use own keys"
5. Fill in their API keys
6. Save and test

Managing Global Templates

AI Prompts Best Practices:

• Use descriptive variable names: {keyword}, {industry}, {tone}
• Test thoroughly before marking active
• Include usage examples in description
• Increment version number on changes
• Deactivate old versions rather than delete

Author Profiles Best Practices:

• Create profiles for common industries
• Be specific about tone (not just "professional")
• Include structure_template guidance
• Categorize clearly for discovery
• Test with real content before publishing

Content Strategies Best Practices:

• Define clear section structure
• Specify prompts for each section
• Include conditional section logic
• Test end-to-end generation
• Document use cases thoroughly

Monitoring System Health

Daily Checks (automated alerts recommended):

• Database response time under 100ms
• Redis memory usage under 80%
• All Celery workers active
• Disk usage under 80%
• No connection errors

Weekly Checks:

• API endpoint health (all critical responding)
• Payment queue (no pending >24 hours)
• Error log patterns
• User feedback review

Monthly Checks:

• API cost analysis and optimization
• Archive old logs
• Audit trail review
• Performance optimization

Payment Approval Process

When Payments Need Approval:

• Wire transfers
• Check payments
• Cash payments (rare)
• Other offline methods

Approval Steps:

1. Customer submits proof (screenshot, receipt)
2. Finance verifies payment received
3. Admin creates Payment record (status=pending)
4. Admin selects payment in Django Admin
5. Uses bulk approve action
6. System automatically processes all updates
7. Customer notified

Rejection Steps:

1. If verification fails
2. Select payment in Django Admin
3. Use reject action
4. Status changes to failed
5. Follow up with customer

Troubleshooting

Global Settings Not Loading:

• Check GlobalIntegrationSettings exists
• Run: GlobalIntegrationSettings.get_instance() in shell
• Verify pk=1 singleton pattern

Account Showing Wrong API Key:

• Check AccountIntegrationOverride exists
• Verify use_own_keys flag correct
• Update or delete override if needed

Monitoring Dashboard Errors:

• Check system health for component status
• Review debug console for config issues
• Check error logs in /admin/admin/logentry/

Payment Approval Not Adding Credits:

• Verify payment status was pending
• Check CreditTransaction records created
• Manually adjust credits if needed
• Review payment approval logs

Templates Not Showing:

• Check global templates marked active
• Verify account has content permissions
• Try creating manually in account model
