title: ZITADEL Management Console
sidebar_label: Overview
---
## What is the management console?
Management Console is the Dashboard UI for your instance. It can be accessed from all configured Custom Domains, defined in the Customer Portal.
The management console is used to configure global default settings and can be used by multiple Administrators.
Read more about [Console Administrators](./administrators) here.
It can also be used by your application users to modify their profile, although we recommend that you build your own User Interface.
When you are logged in, you are greeted by the home page. This page allows you to set shortcuts to settings and projects.
The management console has a context switcher on the **top-left** where your current organization is set.
Depending on your use case, multiple organizations can be created (B2B) or you can stick to your global organization (B2C). To get an understanding of your use cases and how we recommend setting up your organizations, read the [Solution Scenario](../../solution-scenarios/introduction) guides.

If your new to management console, you'll probably want to set some settings initially. Continue reading Default settings on the next page.
## Prevent management console access
In some use cases you want to prevent users from accessing the ZITADEL management console.
Please follow this [guide](/guides/solution-scenarios/restrict-console) to achieve that.
