# Start Node Administration

To access Start Node Administration, navigate to **Administration** > **Integration** > **Start Node Administration**.

The Start Node Administration page provides a centralized view of all [Timer Start](/unqorkai/docs/timer-start-node) and [Signal Start](/unqorkai/docs/signal-start-node) nodes across every workflow in the environment. Use it to monitor node status and activate or deactivate them without opening individual workflows.

> [!WARNING]
> Managing start nodes requires administrative permissions. Administrators needing access should contact their environment administrator.
