**Free tier limits:** On the free tier you can manage up to 100 resources. See [Product license](/docs/cmp/configure/administration/product-license/) for more information.

## Global search

Use global search to quickly find objects and navigate the CMP UI. The Admin page has its own search, scoped to admin content.

## Platform configuration

Review and adjust your instance settings in **Admin** > **Miscellaneous Settings**.

## Time zone

<div class="alert alert-info" role="alert">


Time zone is set on the appliance, not in the CMP UI.
</div>


CMP uses UTC by default. To change it:

1. Connect to the CMP appliance over SSH.
1. Open `/var/opt/cloudbolt/proserv/customer_settings.py` in a text editor.
1. Set `TIME_ZONE` to a valid timezone name, for example `TIME_ZONE = "America/New_York"`. See the [list of tz database time zones](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones).
1. Save the file, then run `systemctl restart httpd`.

## Preconfigurations

Manage [Preconfigurations](/docs/cmp/use/servers/preconfigurations/) (such as server size and software stack) in **Admin** > **Preconfigurations**.

## Rates

Set up [Rates](/docs/cmp/configure/order-forms-and-pricing/rates/) to apply costs to your resources, in **Admin** > **Rates**.

## Resource handlers

View, add, and configure [resource handlers](/docs/cmp/configure/infrastructure/resource-handlers/) in **Admin** > **Resource Handlers**, one for each platform in your environment.

## Server change tracking

Change a VM attribute, such as memory, directly in your platform. Select **Refresh Info** on the server in CMP, then open the server's **History** tab to see the change tracked.

## Group tree

Do more with the CMP [group tree](/docs/cmp/configure/access-and-security/groups-roles-permissions/):

- Set up more groups and group types.
- Set quota limits and review the group tree's quota usage.
- Delegate group administration: make another user the group admin, then remove yourself from the group.
- Manage user permissions: set up a user as a requestor only, then explore what they can see and do.

## Branded portals

Add your company's branding by uploading a logo in **Admin** > **Branded Portals**.

## Single sign-on

Set up external authentication (SSO) for your users. See [Single Sign-On and SAML](/docs/cmp/configure/access-and-security/users/sso-saml/).

## Orchestration

Use the [orchestration framework](/docs/cmp/use/orchestration/actions/orchestration-actions/) and actions to integrate with other systems during provisioning.

## Enterprise functionality

Contact your CloudBolt account team about enterprise capabilities such as configuration management systems and network virtualization.
