The Admin Console in Zoho WorkDrive is the central control panel for organisation administrators. It provides a unified view and management interface for all aspects of the WorkDrive deployment, including user and team management, storage allocation, security policies, sharing restrictions, audit logs, and integration settings.
From the Admin Console, admins can add and remove users, assign users to teams, set storage quotas per user or team, configure external sharing policies, enable or disable password-protected and expiry links, review the organisation-wide audit log, and monitor total storage consumption. The console also provides controls for data retention, version limits, and DLP settings where available on the plan.
The Admin Console governs organisation-level policies and applies to all teams and folders. Individual Team Folder settings (managed by folder Owners) control access at the folder level. Where there is a conflict between a folder-level setting and an organisation policy set in the Admin Console, the Admin Console policy takes precedence, ensuring central governance cannot be bypassed by individual folder owners.

Yes. The Admin Console includes an audit log that records actions taken by all users across the organisation, including file uploads, downloads, shares, deletions, and permission changes. Admins can filter this log by user, action type, or date range and export it for compliance or security review purposes.
