|
||
|
||
## What is the Medusa Admin?
|
||
|
||
The Medusa Admin is an intuitive dashboard that allows merchants to manage their ecommerce store. It provides management featuers related to products, orders, customers, and more.
|
||
|
||
<Note title="Tip">
|
||
|
||
To explore more what you can do with the Medusa Admin, check out the [User Guide](!user-guide!). These user guides are designed for merchants and provide the steps to perform any task within the Medusa Admin.
|
||
|
||
</Note>
|
||
|
||
The Medusa Admin is built with [Vite](https://vite.dev/). When you [install the Medusa application](../../installation/page.mdx), you also install the Medusa Admin. Then, when you start the Medusa application, you can access the Medusa Admin at `http://localhost:9000/app`.
|
||
|
||
<Note title="Tip">
|
||
|
||
If you don't have an admin user, use the [Medusa CLI](!resources!/medusa-cli/commands/user) to create one.

## How to Customize the Medusa Admin?
|
||
|
||
You can customize the Medusa Admin dashboard by:
|
||
|
||
- Adding new sections to existing pages using [Widgets](./widgets/page.mdx).
|
||
- Adding new pages using [UI Routes](./ui-routes/page.mdx).
|
||
|
||
The next chapters will cover these two topics in detail.
|
||
|
||
### What You Can't Customize in the Medusa Admin
|
||
|
||
You can't customize the admin dashboard's layout, design, or the content of the existing pages (aside from injecting widgets).
|
||
|
||
If your use case requires heavy customization of the admin dashboard, you can build a custom admin dashboard using Medusa's [Admin API routes](!api!/admin).

## Medusa UI Package
|
||
|
||
Medusa provides a Medusa UI package to facilitate your admin development through ready-made components and ensure a consistent design between your customizations and the dashboard’s design.
|
||
|
||
Refer to the [Medusa UI documentation](https://docs.medusajs.com/ui) to learn how to install it and use its components.
