# Admin Guide

<Note>
  CLI man page: `safesquid-sections(7)`
</Note>

Administrator guides for the Secure Web Gateway. Start with the first-configuration path if you are new; use the section pages when you need detail, code-validated examples, and how to verify a change.

Topic pages ([Architecture](/admin_guide/start_here/architecture), [Authentication](/admin_guide/start_here/authentication), [Feeds](/admin_guide/start_here/cloud_feeds), [Logging](/admin_guide/start_here/logging), …) explain cross-cutting behaviour. Section pages document one Web UI configuration list each.

<Note>
  **New here?** Open [First configuration](/admin_guide/start_here/first_configuration) — a short path from service check to a working Allow rule and your first content policy. Two config layers: Web UI (policy) and [startup.ini](/admin_guide/start_here/startup_ini) (process tunables). CLI: `man safesquid`, `man safesquid-access`, etc. (after package install).
