# USM Central Web User Interface (UI)

This interface enables you to connect existing deployments or create new ones. You can also create new users in the USM Central instance.

The LevelBlue USM Central web user interface (UI) provides access to your connected <Tooltip tip="Entire process involved in installation, configuration, startup, and testing of hardware and software in a specific environment.">deployment</Tooltip> so you can manage its security. From the USM Central web UI, you can view all essential information, like <Tooltip tip="Alarms provide notification of an event or sequence of events that require attention or investigation.">alarms</Tooltip> , <Tooltip tip="A known issue or weakness in a system, procedure, internal control, software package, or hardware that could be used to compromise security.">vulnerabilities</Tooltip>, <Tooltip tip="issues An identified configuration of deployed software or features of software that is in use, which is known to be insecure.">configuration</Tooltip>, deployments, system events, system settings, and rules for each deployment.

<Note>
  The recommended screen resolution for viewing the USM Central web UI is 1440 pixels wide.
</Note>

For the USM Central web UI to load successfully, it needs to access some external URLs in addition to the one reserved for the USM Central instance. If your company operates in a highly secure environment, you must change permissions on your firewall for USM Central to gain access. The following table summarizes the URLs that the USM Central web UI uses.

The following table shows the URLs used by USM Central.
