# Platform Administration

Xygeni platform is based on a downloadable scanner that performs the analyses on the customer premises and uploads the results to the cloud service. The scanner typically runs at certain points in the DevOps build/deployment process (like in CI pipelines). As there could be multiple non-persistent scanner instances running, a *central configuration* permits each scanner to use the configured detectors relevant for the target software under analysis.

Xygeni provides facilities for managing the organization resources in the platform: *User accounts*, software entries ("*projects*"), *policies to enforce* for the projects, and *security configuration* tasks like creating API tokens. This guide documents also how to perform such administrative tasks.

You can reach the administration section under **Settings** in the left menu.
