# Control Panel

System configuration, user management, and IT administration in one place.

Lab Manager

Control Panel is the administrative backbone of Prima. IT staff and lab administrators manage users, configure protocols, define equipment, set up integrations, and control system-wide settings. Access to ControlPanel requires elevated permissions, keeping administrative functions separate from daily workflows.
