Admin Guide

The items described in this Admin Guide section relate to the administration of your StrongDM organization, which is enabled by permission levels assigned to a user.

The Admin UI is StrongDM's administrative interface. It is found at https://app.strongdm.com, or, if your organization is located on a control plane in a different geographical region, at https://app.region.strongdm.com, such as https://app.eu.strongdm.com.

When users without any administrative privileges sign in to the StrongDM Admin UI, they can only view links to download the StrongDM Desktop application and the CLI. Non-admin users also have access to read product documentation.
