## Related Concepts

Here are a few key concepts of TWICE Commerce that relate to the top navigation.

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Global Context">
    * The top navigation maintains consistent access to key functions regardless of where you are in the platform.
    * A <Tooltip tip={locationDefinition} cta="Read more about Locations" href="/docs/concepts/admin/locations">location</Tooltip> (or multiple locations) is always selected in the top navigation, setting the context for all data and actions available throughout the Admin.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="User Preferences">
    Every user can define a range of personal preferences in TWICE Commerce. These include settings such as your interface language, personal information, and how data is displayed for you.

    <Callout icon="info" title="Personalized Views">
      For example, you can save custom views of data tables (filters, columns, sorts) to your own account — those saved views are only visible to you, and do not appear for your colleagues. Only table views marked as <b><Icon icon="globe" /> Global</b> are shared with the whole team, ensuring you can personalize your Admin experience without affecting others.

## Visibility and Permissions

Access to top navigation features is controlled by your <Tooltip tip={userRoleDefinition}>user role</Tooltip>. Your user role determines both
<Tooltip tip={visibilityDefinition}>visibility</Tooltip> and
<Tooltip tip={permissionsDefinition}>permissions</Tooltip> for
<Tooltip tip={manageAccessDefinition}>manage</Tooltip>,
<Tooltip tip={editAccessDefinition}>edit</Tooltip>, and
<Tooltip tip={viewAccessDefinition}>view</Tooltip> access levels.
