Website actions --------------- Depending on your Site Factory [user role](/site-factory/manage/users/admin), you can complete the several actions on the sites to which you have access. ![Expanded site actions menu](https://acquia.widen.net/content/f0dcuqayd4/jpeg/site-factory_actions.jpeg?position=c&color=ffffffff&quality=80&u=u1mnox) To select an action for a primary website, open the website’s actions menu, and then click an option. * **Log In**: Signs in to the website with the OpenID administrative account that you used to log in to Site Factory. * [Clear Caches](/site-factory/manage/website/cache): Clears your website’s site-cached and Varnish®-cached content. * [Configure Terms Of Service](/site-factory/manage/preferences/tos#acsf-per-site-tos): Opens a [site management](../manage.html) page to allow you to set the terms of service notice for this website. Note that site-based terms of service override any global terms of service notice. * [Delete Site](/site-factory/manage/website/delete): Opens a [site management](/site-factory/manage) page that allows you to permanently delete this site and its content. * [Duplicate Site](/site-factory/manage/website/duplicate): Opens a [site management](/site-factory/manage) page that allows you to create a copy of this website to create a new website. * [Back Up Site](/site-factory/manage/website/backup): Opens a [site management](/site-factory/manage) page that allows you to create and download backups for this website. * [Manage Domains](/site-factory/manage/domains): Opens a [site management](../manage.html) page that allows you to add domain names to this website. * [Transfer Site Ownership](/site-factory/manage/preferences/site-owner#acsf-transfer-site-owner): Opens a [site management](/site-factory/manage) page that allows you to change the site owner for this website. * [Manage Theme Repository](/site-factory/theme/external): Opens a [site management](/site-factory/manage) page that allows you to connect an external theme repository to this website. ### Secondary websites on Site Factory The actions menu is not available for secondary websites, which are non-production copies of primary (production) websites. The card for a secondary website displays a **Go To Dashboard** button instead of an actions menu, as shown in the following example: ![Information card for a secondary website, showing no actions menu](https://acquia.widen.net/content/3h0vscqdss/jpeg/site-factory_secondary-site-image.jpeg?position=c&color=ffffffff&quality=80&u=u1mnox) To learn more about how you can use secondary websites in your development workflow, see [Site collections](/site-factory/manage/website/site-coll). Website metadata ---------------- To view metadata about an individual website, point to the **Information** ![Info icon](https://acquia.widen.net/content/ayhya3e5m4/jpeg/site-factory_info-icon.jpeg?position=c&color=ffffffff&quality=80&u=u1mnox) icon in a website’s information card in the Site Factory Management Console to display a tooltip with the following information about the website: ![Tooltip displayed on a website's information card](https://acquia.widen.net/content/rtfcnguw61/jpeg/site-factory_tooltip.jpeg?position=c&color=ffffffff&quality=80&u=u1mnox) * **Site ID**: A numeric identifier for this website. * **Creation Date**: The creation date of the website, in `MM/DD/YYYY` format. * **Site Owner**: The name of the user who [owns this website](/site-factory/manage/preferences/site-owner). * **Factory Stack**: The [stack](/site-factory/stacks) that this website belongs to. * **DB Identifier**: The name of the database for this website, which is used in per-website [Twig caches](/acquia-cloud-platform/manage-apps/files/twig) and required to [restore an individual Site Factory database from a backup](../../cloud-platform/manage/back-up.html#cloud-restore-db-backups). Groups and subgroups -------------------- The Site Factory Management Console allows you to organize your Site Factory websites into _groups_ of websites. You can use these groups to do the following: * Manually sort your websites using logical connections, such as regions or business functions. * Control sign-in or maintenance access to your websites by controlling which users have access to sites in the group. Note Users with the _platform admin_ role can view all sites and groups, regardless of their group memberships. In the Site Factory Management Console, the term _groups_ describes organizational groups at the top level, and _subgroups_ are organizational units that can contain sites, site collections, and other subgroups, but have a single parent group. The **All my groups** page (displayed when you click the **All my groups link** on any top-level Site Factory Management Console page) displays an overview of the groups available to you on the left and a detailed view of group contents on the right. Note that the detailed view on the right does not display top-level groups that do not contain any websites, site collections, or subgroups. For information about how to create groups and organize your Site Factory websites, see [Creating sites and site groups](/site-factory/manage/website/groups-create).
