# Dashboard

> Real-time overview of your servers, sites, subscriptions, and platform health — role-aware for admins and clients.

<Info>
  **Path:** Dashboard (`/`) — visible to all users

  The dashboard is the first page after login. What you see depends on your role — admins see full server metrics and infrastructure controls, clients see their subscription, sites, and support links.
