### 2.2.5. Administration Section

The Administration section is only visible to users with administrative privileges. It enables the Root User, `superuser`, or members of the `admin` group to set up and configure an EKM server.

Main features in the Administration section include:

- Workspace Configuration. Used by the user designated as the Root User to configure a workspace. See Restricted Configuration in the EKM Administration Guide for details.

- Scripting. Used by `admin` users to record a journal file, run a script, or open a command window. See Scripts and Journals in the EKM Administration Guide for more details.

- Export Workspace. Used by `admin` members to export an entire workspace to another EKM server, or to another location on the same server. The exported workspace can then be imported when creating a new workspace. See Transferring a Workspace Between EKM Servers in the EKM Administration Guide for details.

- Create Usage Report. Used by administrators to create reports of EKM use by each user. See Gathering Usage Statistics in the EKM Administration Guide for details.

The Administration section contains the following pages:

- Configuration. Contains settings relating to the current workspace: Custom Types, Lifecycles, Scripts, Units.xml, and WorkspaceConfig.xml.
