Administration Menu and Pages

Overview

The administrative toolbar gives you quick access to the most important administrative pages. The Toolbar module is enabled by default, as is the shortcut bar that is displayed below it.

Content Editors and Content Managers have default access to:

Content: Find, manage, and create new pages.
Structure: Configure menus, administer tags with taxonomy, and administer Webforms.
Configuration: The collection of settings that determine how the site functions, as opposed to the content of the site. This will typically include things such as the site name, the content types and fields, taxonomy vocabularies, views, etc.
Help: Display information about the functionality of all of the modules installed on the site, including core modules. Each help page has a link to the module's online documentation page on Drupal.org, where more information can be found.

Site Builders have additional access to:

Structure: Edit blocks, define new content types, configure menus, administer tags with taxonomy, and configure some contributed modules.
Configuration: Configure the settings for various functionality, including some contributed modules. You can edit user account settings, general site information, and settings for other general administrative tasks.
