+---------------------------------------------

+============ =========================================
+**type**:    ``boolean``
+**default**: auto-detected based on ``INSTALLED_APPS``
+============ =========================================
+
+Controls whether the social account admin (used to manage OAuth/SAML
+application credentials such as client IDs and secrets) is shown in the
+Django admin.
+
+By default, this is set to ``True`` automatically when any app whose name
+starts with ``allauth.socialaccount.providers.`` is found in
+``INSTALLED_APPS``.
+
+Set this to ``True`` explicitly when using custom or third-party allauth
+provider apps that do not follow the ``allauth.socialaccount.providers.*``
+namespace convention, so that their ``SocialApp`` credentials can be
+managed in the Django admin.
