The Sites Dashboard is the centralized interface for managing your sites and controlling platform-level access. The Sites Dashboard focuses on site-level operations that impact entire sites, rather than content within sites.
- Sites Dashboard: Focuses on operations performed on sites as a whole. For example, creating sites, managing domains, and controlling access.
- Individual site: Focuses on operations related to content and structure within a particular site. For example, creating pages, managing media, and configuring site features.
Site administrators typically work in both. They use the Sites Dashboard for site-level operations and the individual site interface for content and design.
Site-level operations¶
The following table lists example site-level operations that can be performed from the Sites Dashboard:
| Operation | Description |

| Manage existing sites | For each site, you can: |
| Manage domains and SSL certificates | Add or modify domains and SSL certificates for your sites. For detailed instructions, visit Managing domains and SSL certificates. |
| Manage teams and users | Configure teams with individual users and assign those teams to one or more sites. For detailed instructions, visit Managing teams and users. |
| Manage database backups | Acquia Source currently does not provide self-service backup and restore. This will be available in the future. However, database backups are taken daily. To restore your database from a backup, create a Support ticket. |
