# Administrative Access

Administration is performed through a set of management interfaces, reached from the appliance's home page as any other application. Together they provide the visibility and control an administrator requires.

## Management interfaces

<Columns cols={2}>
  <Card title="Rancher: container management" icon="cubes">
    Rancher is used to view system resources, monitor running workloads, and manage the installed applications. It is the primary tool for day-to-day administration of the appliance's applications.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Keycloak: identity and access" icon="id-card">
    Keycloak controls authentication and access across all applications. It is where administrators create users and manage the access each user holds.
  </Card>
</Columns>

For lower-level visibility into system resources and workloads, a Kubernetes dashboard is also available.

## Administrator sign-in

The default administrative username across the appliance, including its operating system and identity system, is **larkadmin**.

Administrative passwords are provided with the appliance at delivery. They are specific to each appliance and are not included in this documentation.

<Note>
  Appliance-specific details such as the administrator password are listed on the delivery record issued with each appliance, not in this documentation.
</Note>

<Warning>
  The administrator credentials must be protected. They provide full control over the appliance, its applications, and its users.
