# Console

> A web UI for running SQL, browsing tables, and monitoring jobs on LanceDB Enterprise.

**Applies to:** Embedded ❌, Enterprise ✅

The **Console** is a web UI for LanceDB Enterprise -- an alternative to the SDK
for people who want to explore and operate a deployment from a browser instead
of writing code. It ships with every Managed and BYOC deployment, reachable at
the URL your deployment provisions.

## What you can do in the Console

* **Run SQL.** A workspace for writing and running [SQL](https://docs.lancedb.com/sql.md) against your tables, with results rendered as a browsable grid -- the same engine the SDK and `lancedb` CLI use, reachable without either one. Multimodal columns render inline, so an image column shows as a thumbnail in the grid instead of raw bytes.
* **Browse tables.** Inspect a table's schema, row count, and recent versions, and preview rows, without writing a query first.
* **Monitor jobs.** Follow the running, queued, completed, and failed jobs behind [refreshes](https://docs.lancedb.com/feature-engineering/refresh-column.md), [materialized views](https://docs.lancedb.com/feature-engineering/materialized-views.md), and maintenance, including per-job progress and errors.
* **Manage access.** Sign in with your organization's identity provider, and manage who else on your team can reach the deployment.
