--- title: About the Administration Console slug: '1841' canonical_url: https://docs.coveo.com/en/1841/ collection: manage-an-organization source_format: adoc --- # About the Administration Console The Coveo Administration Console is a web application allowing its users to manage their [Coveo organization](https://docs.coveo.com/en/185/). To access the Administration Console, one must be granted the [privilege](https://docs.coveo.com/en/228/) to see one of its pages, at least. Then, after [logging in](https://docs.coveo.com/en/1697/), they can review certain data or perform certain tasks, depending on the set of privileges they have been granted. For example, they could be allowed to [manage the content of your organization](https://docs.coveo.com/en/3390/) or review [data](https://docs.coveo.com/en/259/). > **Leading practice** > > Not all Coveo users in your company or organization need to access the Coveo Administration Console. > Most Coveo users in your ecosystem only interact with the Coveo-powered [search interfaces](https://docs.coveo.com/en/2741/) you implemented in your intranet, customer support application, customer portal, etc. > These end users are only seeking relevant content and don't need to understand or manage the mechanics providing them their content. > > Therefore, you should only [grant the privilege](https://docs.coveo.com/en/2822/) to access the Coveo Administration Console to coworkers who actually need to review or edit your Coveo organization data and configuration. Here's a breakdown of the Administration Console: ![Diagram showing the main parts of the Coveo Administration Console](https://docs.coveo.com/en/assets/images/manage-an-organization/admin-console-anatomy.png) 1 [Application picker](#application-picker) 2 [Header](#header) 3 [Navigation menu](#navigation-menu) 4 [Home page](#home-page) 5 Page content > **Note** > > The Coveo Administration Console is only available in English. ## Application picker If your license requires you to use more than just the Coveo Administration Console, the application picker lets you switch between your Coveo applications. The application picker is the icon:grid-dots[alt=grid-dots,width=16] located at the top left of the Administration Console. ![Switching between Coveo applications](https://docs.coveo.com/en/assets/images/coveo-platform/app-picker-open.png) If you don't see the icon:grid-dots[alt=grid-dots,width=16] in your Administration Console, your organization is not using any other Coveo applications. ## Header The Administration Console header appears at the top of all pages. ![Diagram showing the components of the Coveo Administration Console](https://docs.coveo.com/en/assets/images/manage-an-organization/admin-console-header-anatomy.png) 1 Hide/show [navigation menu](#navigation-menu) 2 [Organization picker](#organization-picker) 3 [Project filter](#project-filter) 4 Help center 5 [User menu](#user-menu) If a [system issue](https://docs.coveo.com/en/1684/) occurs, an alert icon appears in the header: ![Alert icon in the Coveo Administration Console header](https://docs.coveo.com/en/assets/images/manage-an-organization/header-alert.png) ### Organization picker The organization picker indicates which organization you're managing with the Administration Console, as well as its type. When you have access to more than one organization, you can switch between organizations through this menu. ![Switching between Coveo organizations](https://docs.coveo.com/en/assets/images/manage-an-organization/organization-picker.png) Typically, Coveo customers have at least one production organization, which powers their search interfaces. They may also have one or more [non-production organizations](https://docs.coveo.com/en/2959/) for testing purposes. ### Project filter The project filter lets you select a project, filtering the Administration Console to display only the resources associated with that project. ![Project filter | Coveo](https://docs.coveo.com/en/assets/images/manage-an-organization/project-filter.png) For more information on the projects feature or to have it enabled in your organization, see [Manage projects](https://docs.coveo.com/en/n7ef0517/). ### User menu The user menu displays your name, email address, and service provider. It allows you to [create user notifications](https://docs.coveo.com/en/1911/) and to log out of the Administration Console. It also contains links to Coveo's [security documentation](https://docs.coveo.com/en/1778/) and [terms and conditions](https://www.coveo.com/en/pages/customer-agreement). ![User menu | Coveo](https://docs.coveo.com/en/assets/images/manage-an-organization/user-menu.png) ## Home page The Administration Console home page provides an overview of your organization, including recent activity and key metrics. Important notifications regarding your organization or Coveo's systems also appear on this page. ![Coveo Administration Console home page](https://docs.coveo.com/en/assets/images/manage-an-organization/home-page.png) The **Watchtower** section displays issues and warnings regarding your organization and its resources. On the right side, the **Coveo Connect** section provides links to Coveo resources and announcements. On top of the [privilege to view the organization](https://docs.coveo.com/en/1707#organization-domain), which is required to access the Administration Console, you'll need the [privilege to view activities](https://docs.coveo.com/en/1707#activities-domain) to see the recent activity section on the home page. ## Navigation menu The Administration Console navigation menu is organized into sections, which contain pages related to a specific aspect of your organization management. A user sees only the pages that their [privileges](https://docs.coveo.com/en/1980/) allow them to access. The following table briefly describes the content of each section.
