Administration Side Panel and Page

The administration side panel and page is a control panel for administering Secret Server. You access it by clicking or hovering over the Administration main menu item and clicking the >> icon. Clicking the << icon closes the side panel.

The most commonly sought items appear in the same list, so you can go directly to them without having to go to the Admin page.

Click the double chevron icon to view the side panel. You can find admin controls in two ways:

Pinning Commonly Used Items

You can build your own admin panel on the Pinned tab by hovering the mouse pointer over a side panel item and clicking the pin icon. Pinned items remain on the Pinned tab until you remove them.

Administration Page

The administration page is an alternative to the side panel. You have three views to choose from, which you set by clicking the unlabeled view dropdown list. The link text states the current view. The views are:

  • Simple View: Hover over or click the large panel buttons to see a menu of topics.

    The legacy search feature is essentially the same as that in the administration side panel.
