As an Admin, you have a vital role to manage the ThoughtSpot application, including managing users, authentication, deployment, and so on. These are the Admin tasks that you have to complete to make ThoughtSpot available for everyone in your organization.

Starting in May 2022, ThoughtSpot rebranded pinboards as Liveboards. For backward compatibility, we currently support internal processes and external methods that use the older naming convention.
