Admin Access
If your company has identified at least one Admin user, that user will have an entry in the left navigation on their Dashboard, just above their username.
If you don't see an entry for Admin, then you are not an Admin user. 
To be assigned this role, please ask the current Admin user at your company. 
If you don't think your company has identified an Admin user, please contact Carbon Support to set up the initial Admin user.
