3. After login you land on the *//Dashboard//// (super-admin) or ////Team console//* (team-scoped users).

*//Sign out//* when finished, especially on shared paddock machines.

===== Types of admin access =====

^ Role ^| What you see ^

If a menu item is missing, ask a super-admin to adjust your login permissions.

===== Mobile and paddock use =====
