* Appropriate user permissions for each tab
* For Passwords: password sharing must be enabled in the integration settings, and the user must have the `read_documentation_passwords` permission

## Accessing Documentation

Click **Documentation** in the sidebar. The page displays tabs based on your active integrations and permissions.

## Articles

The Articles tab displays knowledge base articles synced from your documentation provider.

## Inspectors (Liongard)

When a [Liongard integration](/user-guides/integrations/enable-liongard-integration) is active, an **Inspectors** tab appears showing configuration audit data from Liongard for all **non-device** inspector types. Device-level inspectors (like Windows Workstation) appear on individual devices in the [Devices module](/user-guides/devices) instead.

This tab is designed for browsing cloud and infrastructure inspectors such as Active Directory, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, firewalls, DNS providers, and backup systems that audit a service or environment rather than a single device.

### Browsing by Inspector Type

A sidebar on the left lists all non-device inspector types discovered in your Liongard instance (e.g., Active Directory, Microsoft 365, Firewall, Duo, AWS). Each type shows a count of how many systems use it.

Click an inspector type to see all systems of that type in the main area.

### System List

The system list shows:

| Column             | Description                                   |
| ------------------ | --------------------------------------------- |
| **System Name**    | The inspected system name (click for details) |
| **Company**        | Which company the system belongs to           |
| **Last Inspected** | When Liongard last audited this system        |
| **Status**         | Active or inactive                            |

### System Detail View

Click any system to see its full configuration audit data:

* **Summary Cards**: Pass, fail, and warning counts with clickable filtering
* **System Overview**: System name, environment, inspector type, and last inspection timestamp
* **Security Metrics**: Dedicated section for security-related checks (firewall, encryption, MFA, antivirus)
* **Inspected Metrics**: All other configuration metrics with current values and pass/fail/warning status
* **Recent Changes**: Configuration change detections with inline diffs showing what was added or removed

Use the **search bar** to find specific metrics by name or value. Click **Expand/Collapse** to toggle all metric details at once.

<Note>
  Inspector types that are mapped as device types in your integration settings appear on the Devices page instead of here. This keeps the Inspectors tab focused on cloud and infrastructure audits.
</Note>

***

## Company Filtering

All tabs respect the **company selector** in the header. Select a specific company to see only that company's articles, assets, passwords, procedures, and inspectors.
