As an Agent Platform administrator, manage a Virtual Teammate in Optimizely Agent Platform to control which of its jobs are available and whether people can hire it. You manage these controls from the **Directory** tab. Optimizely automatically updates which jobs are available for enabled Virtual Teammates.

This article is for Agent Platform administrators. To supervise and configure a teammate you hired, see [Manage your Virtual Teammate](docId\:tmB9NAk79-L6-T0sDlcd5).
