**Important**
This section is for CMS administrators and developers with administrator access rights and applies to the SaaS version of the CMS user interface.
:::

An administrator configures system settings from the administration UI, including search, languages, personalization, and user access. Administrators usually have extended access rights compared to other user groups and can access all parts of the Optimizely platform. Administrators also typically have administration access to integrated third-party systems. The administrator is often the contact person who communicates with the application developers.
