# Admin Dashboard

> The administrator's control center — where Pixwel administrators manage studios, projects, users, groups, permissions, and the platform's shared building blocks.

The **Admin Dashboard** is where [Pixwel administrators](/features/user-roles) configure the platform. Everything the rest of Pixwel hangs off of — the studios that own projects, the languages and territories assets are localized for, the users and groups that get access, and the permissions that govern it all — is created and edited here.

<Note>
  The Admin Dashboard is administrator-only. If you don't see it, your group hasn't been granted administrator access. See [User roles](/features/user-roles).

Each tab manages one kind of record. Most share the same pattern: a searchable, paged list with an **Add a new …** button, and per-row **Edit** and **Delete** actions. A few tabs (Permissions, Catalog) use a custom layout suited to what they manage.

## The tabs

| Tab                                            | What you manage                                                                                                 |
| ---------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| [**Studios**](/features/admin/studios)         | The [studios](/glossary) that own projects — name, logo, coordinator, watermark format, and 2FA.                |
| [**Projects**](/features/admin/projects)       | The [projects](/features/projects/overview) under each studio, including their file prefix and archive state.   |
| [**Languages**](/features/admin/languages)     | The localization [languages](/glossary) available platform-wide — their codes and translation fonts.            |
| [**Territories**](/features/admin/territories) | The distribution [territories](/glossary) (geographic regions), each with its assigned languages and countries. |
| [**Asset Types**](/features/admin/asset-types) | The [asset types](/glossary) (trailer, TV spot, key art, and so on) assets can be categorized as.               |
| [**Users**](/features/admin/users)             | The people on the platform — accounts, group membership, and approval state.                                    |
| [**Groups**](/features/admin/groups)           | The [groups](/features/user-roles) that define a user's role and permissions.                                   |
| [**Workflows**](/features/admin/workflows)     | The asset workflows orders move through — phases and approval behavior.                                         |
| [**Shares**](/features/admin/shares)           | Oversight of [shares](/features/shares) across the platform.                                                    |
| [**Permissions**](/features/admin/permissions) | The permissions granted to each group or user, scoped by studio, project, territory, language, and usage.       |
| [**Catalog**](/features/admin/catalog)         | Bulk [embargo](/glossary) management for files and previews.                                                    |

## Common actions

Within the standard list tabs you can:

* **Search** the list to find a record by name.
* **Add a new** record with the button at the top-right.
* **Edit** a record in a detail form.
* **Delete** a record (where allowed — records still in use are protected).
* **Page** through long lists with the pager at the bottom.

<Tip>
  Most administrator work is about access: creating a [**Studio**](/features/admin/studios), adding its [**Projects**](/features/admin/projects), defining the [**Groups**](/features/admin/groups) people belong to, and granting those groups the right [**Permissions**](/features/admin/permissions). The reference tabs ([Languages](/features/admin/languages), [Territories](/features/admin/territories), [Asset Types](/features/admin/asset-types)) maintain the shared vocabulary those records draw on.
