The Admin menu provides you with access to all of the features and community settings that you will need as an administrator. You will see the menu at the top of any page of your Crowdicity community, just above the thicker white navigation menu.
This table explains each area of the Admin menu and includes links to relevant help guides for that area.

Challenge Management
| This is where you can create and edit challenges for your community. When you create a challenge you can decide what type of challenge it is, who can take part in it, and how you’d like people to engage with that challenge (if comments are allowed, the vote type they can cast, etc). Our Challenges help guides will show you how to set up and edit challenges for your community.

User Management
| The User Management area allows you manage existing users and to invite new users to the platform. In this area you can manage the custom groups that you have on the platform, as well as the individual permissions that a user may have. To find out more about managing user groups take a look at our User Management help guides

Pages CMS
| In the Pages CMS section, you can manage existing pages and create new ones. When you create new pages, you can edit them using a rich text editor or, for maximum customisation, you can directly edit the HTML for the page. Our Managing Pages help guides will take you through creating, editing and managing pages.
