What is the purpose of the Control Panel in Liferay?

The Control Panel in Liferay serves as an essential administrative interface that enables users to manage and configure the various aspects of their portal. It provides tools and features for site administrators to perform tasks such as user management, site configuration, content management, and workflow management. This centralized access to administrative functionalities is vital for maintaining the health and performance of the portal, ensuring that all components operate smoothly and according to the organization’s requirements.

While visualizing website content, streamlining advertising, and providing customer support features can be important functions within the broader scope of a Liferay site, these specific actions do not capture the primary role of the Control Panel. Instead, the Control Panel is focused on administrative tasks, making it the central hub for managing and overseeing the overall portal operations.
