If you have a custom backend system that you have programmed (eg: membership system). You can use an admin template to make it look nicer.

Thanks for even asking this question JamesMoran – I would like to know if I can also use these templates for say – Open Atrium? Hoping to use the application for an office intranet and it would be so much easier to get one of the lovely themes here. Thanks for your response in advance moderator.

Let’s say you were a a web application developer or using a relatively simple open source cms package that had an administration system that you use to create content for the website. You could adapt an Admin Template to re-style the whole administration system… to make it more user-friendly. This would not be something for a novice or beginner but more for someone with good PHP & HTML skills… as it would require modifying several PHP functions (if the application was written in PHP ).
If you were using a full-blown CMS package, like Drupal for example, you probably wouldn’t want to restyle its admin system since it is fairly complete to re-skin and is already fairly user-friendly as it is. Same goes for WordPress, the admin system is already user-friendly.
