Getting started with administration

The settings menu

Administrative tasks for Data Hub can be executed via links displayed in the Settings tab. Displayed sections depend on the current user's security profile; most sections are available only to administrators.

Important

Adjusting Data Hub settings impacts application behavior. If you have any questions, contact your account manager or partner before changing these settings.
