The Admin module is used to configure all aspects of a site and the Admin homepage highlights key information about the site. Other areas that can be accessed from the Admin module are General settings which contains all the site settings, settings relevant to modules are in the Modules section and security related settings are stored in the Security section. 

Site Admin is mobile responsive and can be accessed on smartphones, tablets and desktops.
