The ControlPoint Configuration site is a SharePoint site that is integral to your ControlPoint installation.
This site is used primarily for managing ControlPoint users and permissions and menus that display in the ControlPoint left navigation pane. To manage groups you either need direct rights to manage the groups or be a site collection administrator.
If you are a site collection administrator for the ControlPoint Configuration site collection, you can access the site's administration pages and ControlPoint value-added features from the Hierarchy panel. See ControlPoint Security in the ControlPoint User's Guide for more detail.
If you have sufficient permissions (regardless of whether you are the site collection administrator), you can access the site's home page:
·from the SharePoint Hierarchy tree, by right clicking the ControlPoint Configuration Site - Root Site and choosing Open Site.
·from the Manage section, by choosing ControlPoint Configuration Site.
If you have permissions to manage the ControlPoint farm list, you can:
·edit one of the following attributes:
§the name that displays in the SharePoint Hierarchy and selection trees, and/or
§in a multi-farm environment, the url used when switching farms from the ControlPoint application header.
·delete farms that you have decommissioned or no longer manage through ControlPoint.
Note that when you choose the delete a farm from the list, you can also choose whether or not to delete farm-related data (log files and cached data).
To Manage Your Farm List:
1From the Manage ControlPoint panel, choose Manage Farm List.
2Use the information in the following table to determine the appropriate action to take.

If your ControlPoint license key begins with the digits 726, the product is licensed according to the number of SharePoint users in your farm and/or SPO tenancy.
If the first three digits are 723 (which is a "legacy" license issued prior to version 8.2), it is licensed according to both the number of SharePoint users and the number of farms and/or SPO tenancies being managed with ControlPoint.
ControlPoint counts all individual users who currently have permissions in SharePoint, either directly, through an Active Directory group, and/or through a SharePoint group.
Excluded from this user count are:
·external or anonymous users
·sharepoint\system
·most built-in Active Directory accounts
NOTE: ControlPoint will consider the account NT Authority\authenticated users and the Active Directory group Everyone to encompass all active Active Directory users (that is, for these groups, users hose accounts have been disabled in Active Directory will not be counted). If either of these accounts has permissions within SharePoint, it will be reflected in the user count.
TIP: If you suspect that there are disabled or deleted Active Directory user accounts that still have permissions in SharePoint, either explicitly or through a group other than NT Authority/authenticated users or Everyone, generate an Orphaned Domain Users report and delete them from SharePoint so they will not be included in the user count.
