# Xloud Dashboard

> Browser-based management console for all Xloud cloud services — powered by Skyline with integrated monitoring, RBAC, and resource management.

The Xloud Dashboard is a browser-based interface for centralized management of all cloud
resources across Compute, Storage, Networking, Identity, and more. Powered by the Skyline
platform, it provides a modern, high-performance UI with integrated monitoring, role-based
access control, and real-time resource management.

<Note>
  The Dashboard is included in all Xloud products: [XAVS](/products/xavs), [XPCI](/products/xpci),
  and [XHCI](/products/xhci). Access it at `https://connect.<your-domain>` after deployment.

The Dashboard is organized into two views — **Console** (project-scoped) and **Admin**
(platform-wide) — accessible via a toggle in the header.

  <Tab title="Console View (User)" icon="gauge">
    The Console view shows project-scoped resources. Sidebar sections:

The Dashboard communicates through the Skyline API server, which proxies requests to
service APIs. All actions enforce the same RBAC rules as CLI and direct API calls.
