# General Administration
Once a client account is granted the special permissions to create administrator accounts, users with admin privileges can login to **ReleaseOwl** and use the admin account. It is through this account that the admin will assign roles and access to specific users of any given project.
## User Views in ReleaseOwl
ReleaseOwl provides **two distinct views** for users based on their roles and access permissions.
### **1. Project View**
**Access:** Available to all users.
**Purpose:** The Project View allows users to **manage, monitor, and perform activities related to specific projects** based on the permissions assigned to them. Users can access only the projects and functionalities for which they have been granted access.
### **2. Administration View**
**Access:** Restricted to **administrator users** created during the customer provisioning process.
**Purpose:** The Administration View enables administrators to manage **platform-level configurations**, including:
* Projects
* Users
* Credentials
* Environments
* System settings
This view provides centralized control for managing the ReleaseOwl platform.
### Accessing the Administration View
To access the **Administration View**, follow these steps:
1. Log in to **ReleaseOwl** using an **administrator account**.
2. Navigate to the **Home page**.
3. Click the **Administration** menu link located at the **bottom-left corner** of the page.
Once **Administration** is selected, a comprehensive list of all projects associated with the client account will be displayed. From this view, administrators can manage projects and perform administrative configurations across the platform.
