# The Administration Console

The Google App Engine Administration Console gives you complete access to the public version of your application. Access the Console by visiting the following link in your web browser:

https://appengine.google.com/

Sign in with your Google account, or create one with an email address and password.

If you are using App Engine with your Google Apps account, you can sign in to App Engine for your domain using a URL similar to the following, where `your-domain.com` is your Google Apps domain:

`https://appengine.google.com/a/your-domain.com`

You can use the Administration Console to:

- Perform basic configuration (change application title, cookie expiration, authentication options, etc.).
- Set application performance options to manage cost and performance.
- View configured services.
- Set a new host domain.
- Disable datastore writes.
- Disable or delete your application
- Administer your datastore, backup/restore, copy and delete data.
- Migrate from master/slave to high replication datastore.
- Split traffic between different versions of your application.
- View application instances.
- Change user roles, invite other people to be developers for your application, so they can access the Console and upload new versions of the code.
- Create a new application with a free appspot.com sub-domain, or a top-level domain name of your choosing.
- View request and error logs, and analyze traffic.
- Manage task queues, allowing for pausing, purging, and deleting queues.
- Manage individual tasks in a task queue, allowing for viewing, deleting, or running individual tasks immediately.
- Test new versions of your application, and switch the version that your users see.

See Uploading an App (Java) or Uploading an App (Python) for information about uploading your application's code to App Engine and other features for interacting with your live application.
