Information Console provides user access to content stored in a volume on an Actuate server system. Using Information Console, you access the features and options included in the system license and available in your user role. Actuate supplies Information Console with all features available to all users by default.

An administrator may customize the features available in Information Console. For more information about customizing Information Console, see Information Console Developer Guide.

Information Console provides unique functionality levels that complement the default security roles on the volume. For more information about how an administrator manages security roles, see Managing an Encyclopedia Volume.
