Kinetic administration overview
Kinetic moved Epicor into the browser and, for many customers, into Epicor’s cloud. That brings its own administration jobs: getting the browser client to talk to local printers, managing cloud environments without access to the server, and adapting integrations as Epicor changes the platform underneath them.
This section covers those Kinetic- and cloud-specific topics. Administration that works the same in both clients (scheduled tasks, email, identity, UD fields, Solution Workbench, sites, data fixes) is in System admin.

Where to start
Section titled “Where to start”- New to Epicor Cloud administration? Get Cloud Management Portal access first. Most routine fixes start there.
