# Admin Console guide

Manage the business and governance layer behind every SaaS app from hello.buildwithhq.com.

## In brief

- **Home:** hello.buildwithhq.com
- **Focus:** Account governance
- **Local preview:** localhost:4173

Use the Admin Console for account-wide responsibilities. It intentionally keeps app building and runtime operations out of the main navigation so owners can focus on people, money, brand, and governance.

[Open Admin Console](https://hello.buildwithhq.com/dashboard) [Team](https://hello.buildwithhq.com/team) [Billing](https://hello.buildwithhq.com/billing) [Security](https://hello.buildwithhq.com/security)

## Primary workspaces

| Workspace | Use it for | Related guide |
| --- | --- | --- |
| [Dashboard](https://hello.buildwithhq.com/dashboard)  | Account status and the work requiring administrative attention. | [Getting Started](../getting-started/index.html)  |
| [Team](https://hello.buildwithhq.com/team)  | Members, invitations, existing roles, status, and ownership transfer. | [Team and roles](../getting-started/team-and-roles.html)  |
| [Billing](https://hello.buildwithhq.com/billing)  | Plans, invoices, payment status, storage/resources, and account lifecycle. | [Billing & Account](../billing/index.html)  |
| [Branding & communications](https://hello.buildwithhq.com/branding)  | White-label identity and account communication settings. | [White-label guidance](../end-user/for-builders-white-label.html)  |
| [Security & audit](https://hello.buildwithhq.com/security)  | MFA, sessions, security posture, and accountable change history. | [Trust & Security](../trust/index.html)  |

## When to switch consoles

Move to Developer when you need to change the product or publish an artifact. Move to Operations when you need to diagnose or operate a running app. Cross-console links preserve the intended destination; they do not elevate permission.

Tip

Keep account-owner and billing work in the Admin Console even when the affected resource is an app. That makes governance responsibilities easier to find and audit.
