The main administrative functions can be accessed via the menu item Administration.

You can:

- manage the cluster (see [Cluster Management](docId:81qwJdlmpB84fdpfmkhFr))
- create and manage user accounts (see [User Management](docId\:NoTMWE8NOiIduc6YfoqGA) and [Group Management](docId\:H35EqAwFWaHKcMu3_w5_9))
- view and manually download baseline protection rules (see [Baseline Management](docId\:SR3LlchXzabqRTxJwEMV2))
- edit the Global Configuration and view the System Configuration (see [Global Configuration](docId:1MQYcDX4InoZN7IdY-iIB) and [System Configuration](docId:3VcG4M4PeYN4G5D4tCsuL))
-

In addition, you can:

- configure alerts that inform you in case of critical events (see [Configuring Alerts](docId:6QT-_Y-_kUtHhY8kyJEvf))
- access statistics, log files and reports at any time (see [Monitoring Attacks, Statistics, Log Files, Reports](docId:1NE-_LwJkIvGOrOiLMowI))

As with all important files, you should also create a back-up copy of vWAF files at regular time intervals (see [Backup/Restore](docId\:B9lDHvdiHhZHfzS6ZUzp5)).
