# Accessing the Control Panel

After logging in to the Discovery Framework, you may also want to access edit controls. This is done through the Control Panel.

The Control Panel provides access to a wide range of edit controls, including managing accounts, adding new users, and monitoring performance. For full documentation on Control Panel capabilities, see the Liferay Portal Administrator's Guide. To access a free PDF download of this guide, go to http://www.liferay.com and navigate to Documentation.

To access the Control Panel:

1. Point the cursor at the Dock in the upper-right corner of the page. The Dock is labeled "Welcome <user name>!"

2. From the drop-down menu, choose Control Panel.
