space.vars.productName deployment. It's where you create users, build workflows and pages, manage product catalogs, and review reports — all in the browser, without touching NetSuite directly.
{% hint style="info" %}
The Client Admin and the **NetSuite Admin** are two views of the same app. The Client Admin handles day-to-day configuration; the NetSuite Admin handles system-level setup such as subsidiaries, themes, payments and printers. Switch between them in the top bar — the toggle only appears if your account has both roles.
{% endhint %}
## The Dashboard
Signing in lands you on the **Dashboard**. It's deliberately light — a welcome card and confirmation you're in the right subsidiary. Your real work happens in the sidebar sections.
{% hint style="info" %}
The product **version number** sits in the footer at the bottom of every screen, not just the Dashboard.
{% endhint %}
## The top bar
The top bar runs across every page and gives you four controls:
| Control | What it does |
| ---------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **NetSuite Admin / Client Admin toggle** | Switches the view. Only appears for accounts with both roles. |
| **Theme switch** | Light or dark mode. |
| **Subsidiary selector** | Switches which subsidiary you're configuring. The current one is named here. |
| **Profile menu** | Your account, settings, and sign-out. |
## The sidebar
Your primary navigation. It stays visible wherever you are.
