# User guide: admins

This guide can be used by admins to learn at a high-level how to manage your account. 

Your specific integration may be different from this guide. If you are training admins on how to use our software in your own workflow, then using this guide alongside your own materials and integration is recommended as best practice. 

As a first step, please review two other articles:

1. The difference between [admins and support agent roles](https://support.cobrowse.io/user-privileges?hsLang=en) in our software. 
2. The [user guide for agents](https://support.cobrowse.io/user-guide-agents?hsLang=en).

This guide covers additional functionality of admin users. 

### Session History

#### Session metadata for all agents

View and download the session metadata from your account. Please see [Session metadata](https://support.cobrowse.io/session-metadata?hsLang=en) for more information.

#### Session recordings for all agents

#### Redaction

You can configure redaction from the admin portal. However, we recommend redaction to be configured on the SDK-side by default: [https://docs.cobrowse.io/sdk-features/redact-sensitive-data](https://docs.cobrowse.io/sdk-features/redact-sensitive-data).
