# VGS Dashboard

The [**VGS Dashboard**](https://dashboard.verygoodsecurity.com/cmp) is a front-end experience that enables users to [create Sandbox and Live tenants](/cmp/platform/getting-started.md#create-a-sandbox-account-through-the-cmp-dashboard-preferred), view credential data, view Logs, and manage Organizations, users, Routes, Certificates, Keys, and more.

### Dashboard Taxonomy <a href="#key-services-within-cmp" id="key-services-within-cmp"></a>

* **Organization**: The primary entity that connects individual users and service accounts to tenants. Typically, this is the Direct Merchant or Merchant of Record (MoR).
* **Tenant**: The entity that connects the Organization and users to VGS products, services, and data. Think of the tenant as the control plane where you can fine-tune how your products work, and how users relate to those products.
  * The tenant is denoted by its identifier, the Tenant ID, which always begins with *tnt.*&#x20;
  * In the past, the terms *Vault* and *Account* have been used interchangeably to describe the tenant.&#x20;
* **User:** An individual or a service account that has been authorized access to your Organization's products, services, and/or data.&#x20;
* **Service Account**: a non-human user that has been authorized access to your Organization's products, services, and/or data.&#x20;
* **Vault**: A secure environment where sensitive data can be systematically tokenized, stored, and operated on like the original. [Learn more](https://www.verygoodsecurity.com/vault).
* **Environment**: The data layer at which the Tenant exists. An environment can be either Sandbox (meant for testing and troubleshooting) or Live (meant for Production data).

### Key Services of the VGS Dashboard <a href="#key-services-within-cmp" id="key-services-within-cmp"></a>

{% hint style="info" %}
Note: The VGS Dashboard is an **evolving product**. It currently exists as a companion experience to the [Vault Dashboard](/vault/readme/vault-dashboard.md). \
\
As of 2025, some technical capabilities CMP users require to utilize the full breadth of CMP services are housed in the Vault Dashboard experience. Please note that some CMP activities will require navigation across dashboards until all capabilities are consolidated into a single experience.&#x20;

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.verygoodsecurity.com/cmp/platform/overview/vgs-dashboard.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
