4.5. Univention Management Console modules#
Univention Management Console (UMC) modules are the web-based tool for administration of the UCS domain. They are shown on the portal page (UCS portal page) for logged in administrators. Depending on the system role, different UMC modules are available. Additionally installed software components may bring their own new UMC modules.
UMC modules for the administration of all the data included in the LDAP directory (such as users, groups and computer accounts) are only provided on Primary Directory Nodes and Backup Directory Node s. Changes made in these modules are applied to the whole domain.
UMC modules for the configuration and administration of the local system are provided on all system roles. These modules can for example be used to install additional applications and updates, adapt the local configuration via Univention Configuration Registry or start/stop services.

4.5.2. Operating instructions for modules to administrate LDAP directory data#
All UMC modules for managing LDAP directory objects such as user, group and computer accounts or configurations for printers, shares, mail and policies are controlled identically from a structural perspective. The following examples are presented using the user management but apply equally for all modules. The operation of the DNS and DHCP modules is slightly different. Further information can be found in Administration of DNS data via Univention Management Console module and Composition of the DHCP configuration via DHCP LDAP objects.
