+title: "Superpanel"
+tagline: "The web control panel for your Federated Core server: people, access, and application settings."
+weight: 30
+---
+
+Superpanel is where administrators in your organization manage the Federated Core server without needing the command line. If a task in these guides says "in Superpanel", this is the place.
+
+{{< review "Menu labels below describe Superpanel's functions in general terms. Confirm wording against the current Superpanel release before publishing." >}}
+
+## Who can use Superpanel
+
+Only people your organization has made Superpanel administrators can sign in to it. Everyone else uses the applications directly. If you need something changed and you aren't an administrator, ask one of your administrators or contact Federated Computer support.
+
+## What you can do in Superpanel
+
+### Manage people
+
+- **Add a person.** Enter their name, username, and email address. The account is created in your central directory and becomes available in every connected application.
+- **Reset a password** for someone who is locked out.
+- **Disable or remove an account** when someone leaves. Disabling is usually the better first step: the person can no longer sign in, but files and records they own stay in place until you've reassigned them.
+- **Make someone an administrator** of Superpanel or of individual applications.
+
+### Manage groups and application access
+
+Groups let you grant access to several people at once. Typical uses are giving a team access to a particular application, or giving a smaller group administrator rights inside an app. Changes made here apply to the connected applications the next time the person signs in.
+
+### See and manage applications
+
+Superpanel lists every application installed on your server, along with its web address. From here, administrators can:
+
+{{< screenshot src="superpanel/dashboard.png" alt="The Superpanel dashboard showing account and group counts, storage, and installed applications" caption="The Superpanel dashboard. Each application in the sidebar links to its address." >}}
+
+- Find the address of each application to share with colleagues.
+- Request or enable an application that is available for your plan but not yet installed.
+- Change the options Federated Computer exposes for that application, such as whether it is visible to all users or only to certain groups.
+
+The options available for each application are listed on that application's page in this documentation, under **Superpanel settings**.
+
+### Domain and email settings
+
+Federated Core publishes applications on your own domain. Superpanel shows the DNS records your domain needs and, where your plan includes it, lets you manage DNS through [PowerDNS](/apps/powerdns/). If you host your domain's DNS elsewhere, copy the records shown into your DNS provider.
+
+## Settings that live inside each app
+
+Superpanel handles accounts, access, and server-level options. Everything else (branding, workflows, content, notification preferences, integrations) is configured in the application itself, usually under a menu called **Settings**, **Administration**, or **Admin**. Each application page in this documentation explains where to find those screens.
+
+{{< note title="What Superpanel doesn't do" >}}
+Superpanel doesn't give access to the VM's operating system, files on disk, or application configuration files. Those require command-line access, which is only available with the Enterprise option. For standard installations, Federated Computer support can make those changes for you.
