The term "administration screen" is no longer appropriate.

In the past, a web-based GUI screen was prepared for NAS "management" such as storage configuration, network settings, and adding users, but recently it mimics the desktop of a PC or the home screen of a smartphone.

There are various ways to use NAS, such as PC explorer and smartphone apps. Using web-based GUI screens for everyday "tasks" like these is no longer uncommon.
