EBSCO provides administrators with the power to customize various aspects of the EBSCOhost service. Within the EBSCOadmin module, an administrator can customize individual workstations with database access and software features. Administrators can modify search tools such as search limiters and expanders, print options, linking options, local holdings information, links to library pages, and much more. With this powerful tool, administrators can also control the availability of full text, customize onscreen notes and modify other user interface preferences.

Local collections are accommodated in the EBSCOadmin module, and once loaded, can be presented as search limiters or authority files in EBSCOhost.

Multiple authentication methods are provided to enable administrators to register IP addresses, or use existing lists of IDs and passwords, referring URLs and other popular authentication choices, such as library bar codes.

Groups can be created to present differing databases to various rooms in a library, or among sites in a consortia, to allow for customized access. Profiles can be created to be associated with appropriate groups to allow administrators to present their subscription databases where they will provide the most benefit to users.
