# Access IDOL Admin

You access IDOL Admin from a web browser. You can only access the interface through URLs that are set in the `Access-Control-Allow-Origin` parameter in the ACI server or component configuration file. For more information about configuring URL access, see Set Up IDOL Admin.

NOTE: You must belong to the Admin authorization role to access IDOL Admin. If you do not belong to the Admin role, IDOL Admin blocks you from accessing the interface.

Some IDOL Admin features require Query, Index, or Service roles; IDOL Admin checks your status when you access the interface, and warns you that some features might be unavailable if you do not have the necessary permissions. You can view more information about your permissions status on the Permissions tab, or the Permissions section of the Status page.

To access IDOL Admin

- Type the following URL into the address bar of your web browser:

      http://host:port/action=admin

  where `host` is the host name or IP address of the machine where the IDOL component is installed, and `port` is the ACI port of the IDOL component that you want to administer.
