The Optimizely Digital Experience Platform (DXP) provides convenient support for managing websites in the cloud and, at the same time, lets you control, for example, deployments and service usage.

When onboarding DXP, Optimizely provisions the environments included in your order and provides your technical contact with the information and credentials needed to access information and deploy.

You need an **Optimizely cloud account** to access the self-service capabilities in DXP; see [Create an Optimizely Cloud Account](docId\:X-MjgQs-93BregnBOiaQI).

Self-service features provide access to the following:

- DXP dashboard for usage information.
- [Deploy changes in DXP manually](docId\:O4YrBd-sHXoEQsTLu6v-z) for self-deployment.
- [Azure portal](docId\:BNuzWffvzlfed0Yyu5u9l) for environment-related information.

## DXP dashboard

The dashboard is an extension of the self-service capabilities offered as part of the DXP Cloud Services. It provides access to data about the usage and availability of components associated with your DXP subscription.

Go to DXP dashboard and log in using the **Optimizely cloud account** associated with your DXP subscription; see [Create an Optimizely Cloud Account](docId\:X-MjgQs-93BregnBOiaQI).

When logged in, the dashboard menu displays.
