Main sections

Data Transfer

Tools

Use this collection of tools to manage your system resources, including cache and index management, backups, and installation settings.

Support

The Support Tools can be used as a resource during the development and optimization processes, and as a diagnostic tool to help our Support team identify and resolve issues with your system.

Permissions

Magento uses roles and permissions to create different levels of access for Admin users, which gives you the ability to grant permission on a “need to know” basis to people who work on your site.

Action Log

The Action Log tracks the activities of administrators who work in your store. For most events, the available information includes the action, the name of the user who performed it, whether it was a success or failure, and the ID of the object that was the target of the action. The Admin Actions archive lists the CSV log files that are stored on the server.

Other Settings

Manage the notifications in your inbox, create custom variables, and generate a new encryption key.

Amazon Logs

The Amazon Logs section provides access to Client and IPN logs, if enabled in the Developer Options section of the Amazon Pay configuration.
