To help you manage your Site Factory websites and their user accounts, Site Factory includes the Site Factory Management Console, a browser-based website management interface enabling you to effectively organize and work with large numbers of websites and users.

Using the Site Factory Management Console, you can [administer user accounts](#acsf-user-admin-tasks), perform [website management tasks](#acsf-website-mgmt-tasks), and [administer overall Site Factory settings](#acsf-platform-admin-tasks).

For instructions for signing in to the Site Factory Management Console, see [Accessing the Site Factory Management Console](/site-factory/login).

Note

For instructions on setting up Acquia Search with Site Factory, see [Using Acquia Search with Site Factory](/acquia-cloud-platform/features/acquia-search/getting-started/search-sf).

Note

The **All my sites** page offers an export CSV functionality, accessible through a button located at the bottom of the page. This feature generates a CSV file containing details of individual sites, excluding collections. The exported CSV includes information about both primary and secondary sites associated with the account.

User administration
-------------------

User management on Site Factory involves both the roles, access, and permissions for your Site Factory Management Console, and the roles, access, and permissions for the individual Site Factory-hosted websites. You can perform the following user management tasks:

*   [Manage users with access](/site-factory/manage/users) to your Site Factory Management Console
    
*   [Assign roles to users](/site-factory/manage/preferences/centralized) when they sign in
    
*   [Configure two-factor authentication](/site-factory/manage/users/tfa) in the Site Factory Management Console
    
*   [Select an owner for a specific website](/site-factory/manage/preferences/site-owner)
    
*   [Manage policies for password strength](/site-factory/manage/preferences/security)
    

For information about the permissions matrix for roles on your Site Factory Management Console, see [Site Factory Management Console roles](/site-factory/manage/users/admin).

Website management tasks
------------------------

Creating, maintaining, and configuring the individual websites hosted by Site Factory is a straightforward process in the Site Factory Management Console, allowing you to complete the following common tasks:

*   [Stack configuration and management](/site-factory/stacks)
    
*   [Create new websites or groups of websites](/site-factory/manage/website/groups-create)
    
*   [Duplicate existing websites](/site-factory/manage/website/duplicate)
    
*   [Backup management](/site-factory/manage/website/backup)
    
*   [Theme repository management](/site-factory/theme/external)
    
*   [Domain management](/site-factory/manage/domains)
    

For a full list of both the tasks and the metadata about individual websites available for your use, see [Site actions and organization](/site-factory/manage/website).

Platform administration tasks
-----------------------------

As part of maintaining your platform, you must monitor how Site Factory handles your websites, both for normal use and during code deployments and updates. You can also make configuration changes affecting all of your Site Factory-hosted websites. The following list includes links to several resources describing how the Site Factory Management Console helps you meet these needs:

*   [Initiate and monitor code deployments](/site-factory/workflow/deployments)
    
*   [Monitor Site Factory logs](/site-factory/monitor)
    
*   [Manage global Site Factory settings](/site-factory/manage/preferences)
