Navigate the console

The Polaris console, often referred to as the Polaris user interface (UI), consists of three main sections:

• On the left is the navigation menu. It directs you to areas in the interface to analyze and view data, create and manage tables, and view storage information for your project.
• To the right is the main working area of the interface, where you can view and create data cubes, run queries, and build visuals.
• The user menu, located in the top-right corner, contains your account information and operational resources.

Access to certain features is limited to users with specific permissions. If you are not able to view a certain tab, you may not have the necessary permissions to access that functionality. See Permissions reference for more information.
