Admin Settings

The place to set up, update and customize nearly all your settings, and to generally make the Atera platform your own, is the Admin page. Here, you’ll find many settings within the categories of Basic Setup, Monitoring, Customer Facing, and General. Only a user with 'Admin' permissions can access and edit Admin page settings. Learn more about setting roles and permissions.
