What is the primary function of the Liferay Control Panel?

The primary function of the Liferay Control Panel is to manage and configure portal settings and applications. In the Control Panel, administrators and developers can perform essential tasks such as managing users and roles, configuring site settings, setting up permissions, and installing or managing applications and modules. This centralized interface allows quick access to the various functionalities needed to maintain and customize the Liferay portal, making it easier to oversee the site's overall functionality and user experience.

While monitoring application performance metrics is important, it is not the primary function of the Control Panel; rather, it might be part of additional monitoring tools or features within Liferay or other performance monitoring systems. Deploying new modules and plugins is also part of the broader spectrum of management tasks, but the Control Panel itself is more focused on configuration rather than deployment logistics. Editing user-generated content directly typically falls under other interfaces provided for content management, not the Control Panel, which is more about administrative settings.
