About the Admin Center

The Admin Center is the central workspace for configuring AlloyScan. Its layout depends on your administrative role.

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.
