# Navigating Telestream UP

> The main navigation, user menu, spaces, and global features available throughout the platform

## Overview

Every page in Telestream UP shares the same navigation rail, user menu, and a few platform-wide features described here. This page is a reference for those shared elements — application-specific pages (Capture, Review, Storage, and so on) are documented separately.

Every URL in the platform is scoped to a **Space** (`/{space}/{app}/...`) — see [Spaces](#spaces) below.

## Left navigation rail

The collapsible rail on the left lists the applications your organization has enabled and that you have permission to use:

* **Capture** — Channels, Scheduler (if enabled), Settings
* **Review** — Browser, Player, Settings
* **Lens** — Multiviewers, Alarm Log, Sensors, Templates, Settings
* **Workflow** — Manage Workflows, Job Monitoring, Settings (Variables, Media Nicknames, Attachment Nicknames, Metadata Labels, Templates)

Near the bottom of the rail:

* **Live Sources** — shown if your organization has Live Sources enabled
* Your **user avatar/name** — opens the [user menu](#user-menu)

Which items you see mostly depends on whether your organization's plan includes that application and whether your role grants you access to it; for most apps, a "Settings" sub-item only appears if your role lets you manage that app (not just use it).

Click the collapse icon to shrink the rail to icons only; your preference is remembered.

## Spaces

A **Space** is the organizational container your work happens in — most navigation, settings, and permissions are scoped to a Space. If your organization has more than one Space, a switcher appears near the top of the navigation rail; if there's only one, its name is shown as plain text. Switching Spaces takes you to the equivalent page in the new Space and remembers your choice for next time.

## User menu

Click your avatar/name at the bottom of the navigation rail to open the user menu:

* Your name and email — click to go to your **User Profile**
* **Organization Settings** — links to the first settings area you have access to (Users, Spaces, Storage, Audit Log, Live Sources, or API Keys)
* **Log Out**

## Settings navigation

Administrative pages live under **Settings**, with their own left-hand tab menu. Which tabs you see depends on your organization's plan and your permissions:

* Account Overview *(platform admins only)*
* Storage
* Users, Groups, Roles, Spaces, API Keys *(user management)*
* Audit Log
* Credentials *(Vault)*
* System *(self-hosted deployments only)*

## Signing in and out

Visiting the platform while signed out redirects you to the sign-in page automatically; after signing in you're returned to the page you originally requested. **Log Out** (in the user menu) signs you out and returns you to the sign-in page.

If something goes wrong during sign-in, you'll land on one of these screens instead of the platform:

| Screen               | Meaning                                                                                          |
| -------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Email Not Verified   | Check your inbox (and spam folder) for a verification email.                                     |
| Email Not Received   | Your organization's single sign-on isn't sending an email address to the platform.               |
| Email Not Registered | Your account hasn't been added to a Telestream UP organization yet — contact your administrator. |
| Unauthorized         | There's an issue with your account or single sign-on setup — contact your IT administrator.      |
| Permission Denied    | You don't have permission to view the page you requested — contact your administrator.           |
