# Administrator Accounts

Admin Accounts are for those entrusted with administering the Application. Admin Accounts can generally do much more than Sender Accounts.

The **Admin** drop-down menu in the **New User Experience** enables Account Administrators to view and configure system settings. Depending on the account's pre-configured settings, some or all of the following sections will appear in that menu.

| **Menu Item** | **Description** |
| --- | --- |
| User Management |
| [**Users**](/v1/docs/managing-users) | Enables an Administrator to view and manage any user who can access a *OneSpan Sign* account managed by the Admin. This option appears only if [**Roles and Permissions**](/v1/docs/enterprise-administration) have been enabled (to arrange this, contact our [**Support Team**](https://www.onespan.com/support)). |
| [**Managing Senders**](/v1/docs/new-ux-admin-managing-senders) | Enables an Administrator to view and manage an account's senders.

| [**Roles**](/v1/docs/managing-roles) | Enables an Administrator to view and manage a sender’s [**roles**](/v1/docs/managing-roles). The system-defined roles for senders are **Admin**, **Manager**, and **Sender**. The default role of a new sender is **Sender**.
