Configure and manage your Method Platform instance.

## Overview

The Administration application is the central hub for platform configuration and management.

## Capabilities

### Environments

Create, view, and manage the Environments on your platform. Environments are logical containers for credentials, data, and context — representing organizations, deployment stages, or business units.

### Tags

Create and manage tags to group and organize Environments. Tags enable filtering across the platform, including in the [Explorer](/platform/core-platform/objects).

### Onboarding

Onboard new Environments and kick off onboarding tasks to populate initial data and configure integrations.

### Jackals

Create and manage your [Jackal](/platform/architecture/jackal-c2) security agents. View deployed Jackals, their status, and the environments they cover.

### Cloud integrations

Manage cloud provider integrations (e.g. AWS) that allow Method to discover and assess cloud resources.

### Alerts

Configure alert channels (Teams, Slack) to receive notifications for new Findings, completed Task Runs, and other platform events.

### Platform settings

Configure additional settings for your Method instance, including Task labels and other operational parameters.

### AI Inference

Configure the LLMs that power Agents and Operator. Manage Model Providers (endpoints, authentication, and models) and Model Defaults (the Large, Medium, and Small slots every caller resolves against). See [AI inference](/platform/core-platform/administration/ai-inference) for the reference.
