# Using the MED-V Management Console User Interface
The console user interface is divided into the following sections:
- The following **MED-V management buttons**, which correspond to the three modules:
- **Policy**—The **Policy** module is used to define the MED-V workspaces and their related settings and permissions.
- **Images**—The **Images** module is used to manage MED-V workspace images.
- **Reports**—The **Reports** module is used for generating and viewing MED-V workspace reports.
- The **toolbar** displays shortcuts relevant to the button selected.
- The **display pane** displays a module corresponding to the button that is selected.

## How to Log In to the MED-V Management Console
**To open the MED-V management console**
- On the Windows **Start** menu, select **All Programs > MED-V > MED-V Management**, or on the desktop, double-click the MED-V Management icon.
The **MED-V Management Login** window appears.
**Note**  
For security reasons, the first user to log in to the MED-V management console will become the only user on that computer allowed to access the management console.
 
**To log in**
1. Type in your domain user credentials in the following format:
"domain\_name\\user\_name", "password"
**Note**  
When configuring the server, users with full access as well as users with read-only access are defined. All users must be domain users. The domain user name and password is used for MED-V management login.
 
2. Click **OK**.
The **MED-V Management** console appears.
