About the Admin Center
The Admin Center is the central workspace for configuring AlloyScan. Its layout depends on your administrative role.
Menu path
Admin Center
Site Administrator view
A Site Administrator opens the Admin Center directly in the current Site's administration menu. There are no App management or Site Settings tabs in this view.
The menu groups Site-level administration into these areas:
- Organization profile and Limits and usage
- Security — users, App registrations, SSO providers, and access restrictions
- Settings — scan schedules, audit schedules, Audit settings, Inventory settings, Change tracking, and Tools
- Customization — custom audit fields, software recognition, and tag management
- Tasks and services — Audit Services, Audit Agents, and active tasks
- Notifications and Logs
Changes made in this view apply only to the current Site. For this reason, procedures for Site Administrators use paths such as Admin Center > Security > Users and Admin Center > Settings > Audit settings.
Global Administrator view
A Global Administrator sees two tabs at the top of the Admin Center:
- App management — instance-level administration, including Sites, Email client settings, Notification templates, Site template defaults, Security, Resources, Billing, and Logs
- Site Settings — the administration menu for the currently selected Site
The Site Settings tab is part of the Global Administrator interface. It is not an extra navigation step for a Site Administrator.

The built-in User role does not provide access to administrative configuration.
