Sometimes there can be requirement that you want to create custom Admin page which will be accessible to Admin/Non-Admin user.

Here is an example:

  • Create aspx page “CustomAdminPage.aspx” inside “<root>/sitecore/admin” folder
 <%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="CustomAdminPage.aspx.cs" Inherits="Namespace.CustomAdminPage" %>  
 <!DOCTYPE html>  
 <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">  
 <head runat="server">  
   <title>Custom Admin Page</title>  
   <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/sitecore/shell/Themes/Standard/Default/WebFramework.css" />  
   <link rel="Stylesheet" type="text/css" href="./default.css" />  
 </head>  
 <body>  
   <form id="form1" runat="server" class="wf-container">  
     <div class="wf-content">  
       <h1>Custom Admin Page  
       </h1>  
         <div class="root">  
           <asp:button runat="server" text="Click" ID="btnClick" OnClick="btnClick_Click"/>  
           <br />  
           <asp:Label ID="lblMessage" runat="server"></asp:Label>  
       </div>  
     </div>  
   </form>  
 </body>  
 </html>  
 
  • Implement server-side code 
  • Add "Sitecore.Client" assembly

 namespace Namespace  
 {  
   public partial class CustomAdminPage : AdminPage  
   {  
     protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)  
     {  
     }  
     protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e)  
     {  
       //CheckSecurity will check that user should have admin rights  
       CheckSecurity(true);  
       base.OnInit(e);  
     }  
     protected void btnClick_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)  
     {  
       lblMessage.Text = "Button Clicked";  
    // Do your custom code  
     }  
   }  
 }  
  • Now go to in browser and type http://<yoursite>/sitecore/admin/CustomAdminPage.aspx
admin, adminpage, custom admin page, Sitecore,

In project, where are you implementing CustomAdminPage class. Sitecore.Client is require for AdminPage. You can find Sitecore.Client via Nuget

In Helix architecture project, use Sitecore.Client.NoReferences so that no need to overwrite. Sitecore.Client.dll in website root bin folder
