The console is organized by the question you are asking. The left menu has four sections, with Hub and Downloads at the bottom.

| Menu section | Page | Question it answers |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Overview** | [Insights](/surface/overview/insights) | How are we doing overall? |
| | [Inventory](/surface/overview/inventory) | What AI assets do we have, and how are they connected? |
| **Policies** | [Asset Access](/surface/policies/asset-access) | Which assets do we allow, warn about, or block? |
| | [Asset Policies](/surface/policies/asset-policies) | What policies are installed assets checked against? |
| | [Session Policies](/surface/policies/session-policies) | What policies are AI conversations checked against? |
| **Activity** | Sessions | How is AI being used? See [Sessions](/surface/activity/sessions) |
| | Audit Log | Who changed what? See [Audit Log](/surface/activity/audit-log) |
| | Requests | Who is asking for access to an asset? |
| **Environment** | [Endpoints](/surface/environment/endpoints) | Which endpoints have what? |
| | Users | Who can use the console? See [Users](/surface/environment/users) |
| **Footer** | Hub | Which extensions are on? See [Hub](/surface/hub/overview) |
| | Downloads | Installers and enrollment tokens. See [Enrollment tokens](/surface/settings/enrollment-tokens) |

## What Members see

People with the **Member** role only see their own endpoint. Opening the console takes them straight to it. Everything below describes what Admins and Auditors see.
