- Visit `/admin` on your self-managed instance.
The Dashboard is the default view of the Admin Area, and is made up of the following sections:
| Section | Description |

## Administer Projects
You can administer all projects in the GitLab instance from the Admin Area's Projects page.
To access the Projects page, go to **Admin Area > Overview > Projects**.
Click the **All**, **Private**, **Internal**, or **Public** tab to list only projects of that
criteria.
By default, all projects are listed, in reverse order of when they were last updated. For each
project, the following information is listed:
- Name.
- Namespace.
- Description.
- Size, updated every 15 minutes at most.
Projects can be edited or deleted.
The list of projects can be sorted by:
- Name.
- Last created.
- Oldest created.
- Last updated.
- Oldest updated.
- Owner.
A user can choose to hide or show archived projects in the list.
In the **Filter by name** field, type the project name you want to find, and GitLab will filter
them as you type.
Select from the **Namespace** dropdown to filter only projects in that namespace.
You can combine the filter options. For example, to list only public projects with `score` in their name:
1. Click the **Public** tab.
1. Enter `score` in the **Filter by name...** input box.
## Administer Users
You can administer all users in the GitLab instance from the Admin Area's Users page.
To access the Users page, go to **Admin Area > Overview > Users**.
Click the **Active**, **Admins**, **2FA Enabled**, or **2FA Disabled**, **External**, or
**Without projects** tab to list only users of that criteria.
For each user, their username, email address, are listed, also the date their account was
created and the date of last activity. To edit a user, click the **Edit** button in that user's
row. To delete the user, or delete the user and their contributions, click the cog dropdown in
that user's row, and select the desired option.
To change the sort order, click the sort dropdown and select the desired order. By default the sort dropdown shows **Name**.
To search for users, enter your criteria in the search field. The user search is case
insensitive, and applies partial matching to name and username. To search for an email address,
you must provide the complete email address.
