# Admin Console
Its users granted with the superuser admin role(those within the admin user group) who interact with the NPIS-IAM's backend configuration interface called the **admin console**. It is preconfigured with an admin account out of the box. This account will allow you to create an admin that can log into the master realm’s administration console so that admin can start creating realms, users and register applications to be secured by NPIS-IAM.
