===== 🛠️ Squirrel Administrators Portal =====

The [[https://www.smikar.com/squirrel/|Squirrel]] Administrator Portal gives IT administrators access to the centralized dashboard for managing archive and restore activity, monitoring worker status, and reviewing logs and storage usage.

Administrators log in using their **Microsoft 365 credentials** through a personalized login URL specific to your company. Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is required to ensure secure access.

Once logged in, administrators can view and manage:

- Archive and restore queues
- Dashboard metrics
- Job status and history
- Worker node health
- Audit logs
- Storage consumption and savings
