# Overview Of The Administration Console

All subscription administration functions are accessed via the <code class="expression">space.vars.PRODUCT\_NAME</code> Administration Console. The Administration Console is accessible only when <code class="expression">space.vars.PRODUCT\_NAME</code> is activated on your computer.

If <code class="expression">space.vars.PRODUCT\_NAME</code> is not already activated on your computer, then [first activate it](/administration-guide/activate-your-computer.md) to access the Administration Console.

To open the Administration Console, locate the blue Z icon in your Windows system tray, then click the icon to pop open the Administration Console:

After clicking the blue Z icon, the Administration Console will show. All the administration functions are accessed via the *What do you want to do?* button, otherwise known as the action button.

To access the administration functions, click the action button. If you find there are a restricted set of functions on the action button, this indicates you are either not the administrator of the subscription, or, the computer is activated as a hot desk computer or desktop server.

In the former case, you will need to contact a <code class="expression">space.vars.PRODUCT\_NAME</code> subscription administrator and ask them to assign you administration privileges if you want to administer the subscription, or, in the latter case, you will need to [activate your computer via the wizard](/administration-guide/activate-your-computer.md) to access the administration functions.
