The Admin Toolbar is your point of access to the various site- and community-management pages. When you log in as a Volunteer Admin, Site Admin, or Super Admin, the toolbar will be "sticky" across the top of your entire site to provide convenient access to your Admin pages.

NOTE: Volunteer Admins and Site Admins will see only the options that are available to them.
