Administration
The Administration section is the central location for configuring, securing, and managing your SEI environment. It empowers system administrators to manage access, security, data connections, and organizational structure from a single interface.
In Administration, you can add and manage users and groups, set roles and permissions, configure authentication and environments, maintain data sources, define global filters and variables, and automate reporting and data distribution. You can also oversee system licensing, language settings, installation templates, scheduling, and integrations with external applications. Everything you need to deploy, govern, and optimize SEI is accessible here.
