# Platform Home

BioInsight Platform's Applications Page is the landing central hub for managing account in Illumina.

{% hint style="info" %}
Note: "BioInsight Platform" and "Platform Home" terms are used interchangeably.
{% endhint %}

## Access BioInsight Platform

Once you have [set up your software](/getting-started/rg-registration.md), you can log in through the [Illumina login](https://login.illumina.com/login) to access BioInsight Platform. From this page, you can click on any app to launch it.

Applications shown are entitled based on your organization's active subscriptions.

Once you're inside an application, you can return to BioInsight Platform at any time by clicking on the waffle menu present to the top right corner and selecting "Platform Home." From the waffle menu, you can also switch between any of the applications you have access to.

The left navigation menu in BioInsight Platform provides various options to manage account in Illumina.

## Usage and Administration

The **Usage and administration** section links to:

* **Usage Explorer**: track usage costs across Illumina cloud products with detailed insights and trends. See [Usage Explorer](/account-management/usage-explorer.md) to learn more.
* **Subscriptions**: view all subscriptions associated with your domain. See [Subscriptions](#subscriptions) below.

## User

In the left navigation menu, the User component features a dropdown list containing options for managing the following:

* Profile
* API keys
* Sessions
* Passwords
* Communications

### Profile

The **"Profile"** option takes you to a page where you can update your profile information. Please note that the email address associated with your profile cannot be changed. However, you can edit the following fields: **first name, last name, company name, job title,** and **country/region**.

Click **"Save"** to apply your changes, or **"Cancel"** to discard them.

### API Keys

The **"API Keys"** page allows you to view and manage all your API keys.

**Manage Existing API Keys**

You will see a list of all the API keys associated with your domain, including their status, creation date, expiration date, last used date, and available actions. You can expand the dropdown for each key to view the roles associated with it, if applicable.

Click the regenerate icon to generate a new version of an existing API key. Regenerating an API key creates a new key value that replaces the old one. This is often done for security reasons—such as when you suspect a key has been exposed—or to rotate credentials regularly. Please note: if you regenerate a key, any existing integrations that rely on the original key may stop working unless you update them with the new key.

Click the edit icon to edit an API key. You can update the key name and choose whether the changes apply to all future workgroups and roles within the domain. You can also specify which current workgroups and domains the updated name applies to.

Click the delete icon to delete an API key. You can no longer access the API key once it's deleted.

**Generate New API Key**

To create a new API key, click the **"Generate"** button. Provide a name for the key, then choose to either include all workgroups or select specific workgroups that the key should have access to.

Once generated, the API key will be displayed in a hidden format. Use the **"Show Key"** button to reveal it, and optionally download the key as a file for secure storage.

⚠️ **Important:** Once this window is closed, the key will no longer be accessible through the domain interface. Be sure to store it securely for future use.

After generating a key, keep it in a safe location to use when accessing the platform via the command-line interface (CLI) or APIs.

**Generate a DRAGEN API Key**

If you only need API access to DRAGEN, click **"Generate DRAGEN API Key"** instead of the general **"Generate"** button, provide a name for the key, and click **"Generate"**. A DRAGEN API key can't be used to authenticate against other applications, so if it's ever exposed, the impact is limited to DRAGEN rather than your full account. DRAGEN is currently the only application with its own scoped key option; support for additional applications is planned.

As with a standard API key, the secret value is shown only once. Use **"Copy to clipboard"** or **"Download API key"** to save it before closing the dialog.

### Sessions

The **"Sessions"** page takes you to a table displaying a log of your user account session activities. Activities such as sign-ins, session generations, and sign-outs from different devices are recorded.

You’ll also see additional columns providing details about each activity, including the device, browser, IP address, creation time, last activity time, and action.

From the **Action** column, you can click **"Sign Out"** to end any active sessions.

Lastly, click the waffle menu next to each column header to pin, autosize, reset, or customize the ccolumns displayed.

### Password

The **Password** page allows you to change the password for the domain.

### Communication

The **Communication** page allows you to choose the communication preference from Illumina

## Subscriptions

The **"Subscriptions"** link takes you to a table displaying all subscriptions associated with the domain. This includes details such as the subscription name, subscription number, status, start date, end date, email address, and available actions.

The end date indicates when the subscription is scheduled to expire.

Most subscriptions—such as BioInsight Platform Core—provide access to applications for all users in a domain.

For certain subscriptions—such as [ICM](https://help.connected.illumina.com/multiomics-software/connected-multiomics)—specific users need to be assigned to the subscription in order for someone to access the associated application. Only domain admins have permission to assign or unassign users to these type of subscriptions. To assign a user, click "Assign" and enter the user’s email address.

To unassign a user, click the "Unassign" link and the user will be removed.

Click the waffle menu next to each column to filter, pin, autosize, reset, or customize the columns displayed.

## Orders

The Orders Registration page allows you to set up and manage software orders. To learn more about the Order Registration and Software setup visit [Software Setup](/getting-started/rg-registration.md).

## Admin

The Illumina Admin console is a platform designed for administrators to manage product usage, control workgroup permissions, and oversee domain access. To learn more about the Roles, Workgroup and Domain visit [Admin console](/account-management/admin-console.md).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.bioinsight.illumina.com/account-management/platform-home.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
