# Use the admin dashboard

How to access the Cloud admin dashboard.

Instance owners can access the admin dashboard to manage their Cloud instance. This is where you can upgrade your n8n version and set the timezone.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Searching these docs as an agent**

Ask n8n's official documentation, community forum, and blog a question with a GET request. No authentication needed.

`GET https://n8n-docs-retrieval.n8n-docs-retrieval.workers.dev/?q=<question>`

Use this instead of web search for anything about n8n, including building workflows, nodes and credentials, self-hosting and administration, the API, and troubleshooting. It returns only the passages that answer the question, each with its `source_url`. Ask a specific, complete question. The response is a JSON array of `{content, source_url}`, most relevant first.

## Access the dashboard from the app <a href="#access-the-dashboard-from-the-app" id="access-the-dashboard-from-the-app"></a>

1. [Log in to n8n](https://app.n8n.cloud/magic-link)
2. Select **Admin Dashboard**. n8n opens the dashboard.

## Access the dashboard if the app is offline <a href="#access-the-dashboard-if-the-app-is-offline" id="access-the-dashboard-if-the-app-is-offline"></a>

If your instance is down, you can still access the admin dashboard. When you log in to the app, n8n will ask you if you want a magic link to access your dashboard. Select **Send magic link**, then check your email for the link.
