Hello dear community, is there any possibility to set up an environment variable so that it would not be possible through the admin dashboard UI? Is there any possibility to limit what UX allows admins to do? I want to make backups of the form fully automated, but only on the backend.

I do not think so - admin actions can’t be restricted, since they have absolute control over the forum. Why do you want to prevent admins from making a backup via the UI? Also, are you using Configure automatic backups for Discourse to automate backups?

I haven’t tried it myself but declaring the settings in the env has precedence over settings in the UI, and it would probably also hide the settings from the UI as well. You can try it out.

如何设置细粒度管理员权限或限制导出功能？

我本人尚未尝试过，但在环境变量中声明的设置优先于 UI 中的设置，并且可能还会在 UI 中隐藏这些设置。您可以尝试一下。
