# Course Administration: Overview

![The Administration tab's Overview section with Enrolled learners, Course team, Cohorts, and Graded subsections cards, a Quick links card, and the admin navigation on the left](../images/course-administration/course_admin_overview.webp)

## Overview

The **Administration** tab holds the tools for running a course: enrolling learners, managing grades and due dates, pulling reports, and changing the course's settings. It sits at the end of the course tabs, after a divider, and opens on Overview.

A navigation column on the left groups the tools:

- **Overview**
- **Learners**: [Grades](grades.md), [Membership](membership.md), [Cohorts](cohorts.md), [Extensions](extensions.md), [Attempts](attempts.md)
- **Insights**: [Reports](reports.md), [Analytics](analytics.md)
- **Course**: [Settings](settings.md), [Authoring ↗](authoring-proctoring.md), [Proctoring ↗](authoring-proctoring.md)

Items marked ↗ open in a new browser tab. On a phone the navigation becomes a row of pills above the content.

## Target Audience

**Course staff** | **Administrator**

Who sees what:

- **Platform administrators** and members of the course team with the **staff** or **instructor** role see every tool.
- **Limited staff** see every tool except Authoring: they can run the course but not edit its content.
- **Analytics** is also available to anyone with analytics permission for the organization.

The Administration tab is hidden from learners.
