The user interface helps you to configure and perform operations on a ZENworks Primary Server. Based on the logged-in user the tiles are displayed.
On ZENworks, the root user has all privileges, whereas for the zenadmin user certain privileges are restricted. If you log in as a zenadmin user, you will not be able to execute commands that tend to modify the existing configuration, such as zac refresh, zac clear-cache and so on.

The following operations can be performed by root and zenadmin:
Explore all the files and folders of the appliance system
View logs
View and edit log configurations
View and edit the ZENworks configuration settings
Restart both appliance and ZENworks
Launch a terminal and execute ZENworks commands
