The Admin Center utility in aiWARE provides administrators with the ability to manage user accounts, control access, manage API tokens, and get system information on their aiWARE organization. The first active user in an organization is an administrator. In addition, current administrators can grant admin access to any user.
This documentation provides an overview of Admin Center and what you can do in it.

|---|
| aiWARE instance | An aiWARE instance refers to either a single node running aiWARE, or, in multi-node installations, to the entire set of nodes running any parts of an aiWARE stack. |
| Identity and Access Management (IAM) | IAM encompasses four elements: authentication, authorization, administration, and auditing/reporting. It enables IT administrators to restrict access to organizational resources so that only the people who need access have access. aiWARE can be integrated with any Open ID Connect provider, such as Okta and Microsoft Entra. |
| Organization | An entity that centrally controls access to different resources and assets. An aiWARE organization controls access to resources for AI processing, such as media files or other data assets, and processing tools, including engines, applications, schemas, and flows. |
