E3 Admin is the module responsible for monitoring and controlling an E3 Server. It is depicted by the icon 
on Windows Notification Area. This module starts whenever a user logs in Windows, or whenever an E3 Server service starts.
E3 Admin is also responsible for handling Domain control options via command prompt, such as e3admin <domain_name> [options] or e3admin [options] <domain_name>. Command prompt options are described on the next table.

Dialog box with E3 Admin's command prompt options
If the load, start, or viewer options are used, Windows 10 or later may ask for an Administrator authorization, a process known as privilege elevation, whenever E3 Admin has not been started by a system Administrator user, and depending on Windows User Account Control configuration.
If the logged in user is not an Administrator and Windows User Account Control configuration does not allow the authorization window, E3 Admin itself displays an error message, such as the one on the next figure.

NOTE |
Windows must be restarted to apply User Account Control configurations. |
If there are Domain restrictions, the load, stop, refresh, and close options also ask for an Elipse E3 user login.
