# Community vs. Enterprise

When using the Enterprise Edition, any data, including Projects, Measurements, Protocols, Macros and Users can only be accessed when signed in. New users can only be added through the Administration account (see below).

There are also separate applications for the Enterprise Edition, for both Desktop and Mobile. Find instructions on where to download and how to install them here.

When using the Enterprise Edition you will have an an administration (admin) account, that will allow access the settings and administration pages for their cloud. From there you will be able to access and manage data regarding users, measurements, macros, projects, protocols, and more.
