# Admin

The Admin section is visible only to administrators, meaning Portainer administrators. It contains four pages:

* [**Cluster Readiness**](/portainer-idp/using-portainer-idp/admin/cluster-readiness.md): check environments for deployment prerequisites, install Sealed Secrets, and disable environments for self-service.
* [**Helm Charts**](/portainer-idp/using-portainer-idp/admin/helm-charts.md): curate the Helm charts in the catalog, and choose which chart repositories developers may use.
* [**Audit log**](/portainer-idp/using-portainer-idp/admin/audit-log.md): every change made through Portainer-IDP, with who made it and from where.
* [**Settings**](/portainer-idp/using-portainer-idp/admin/settings.md): the Edge Admin credential and other installation-wide settings.

Non-administrators don't see this section in the navigation at all, and the backend checks the same role before acting. See [Roles and access control](/portainer-idp/architecture/roles.md).

A Portainer administrator bypasses every access list in Portainer-IDP and sees every application, secret and deploy target.
