Nearly all web-applications offer two interfaces: the front-end is for users, and the back-end is for the administrator. MyLabStocks also offers two interfaces but the distinction is slightly more subtle:
- The ***Front-End*** is where users can rapidly browse some, **but not all**, of the stocks. The Front-End offers convenient filters to search for specific items and information. Views are organized to be synthetic and rather compact. In other words, the Front-End is for everyday usage, for everyone. The address of the Front-End interface is typically `url-of-your-server/mylabstocks/`.
- The ***Back-End*** is both for the administrator(s) and the users. The administrator can perform all admin tasks such as modifying any table, add users, assign permissions etc. The users can also visit the Back-End to have access to advanced features of MyLabStocks: in the Back-End, they can browse the entire database, provided that they have the necessary permissions. They can add and edit records, which is not possible from the Front-End. The address of the backend is typically `url-of-your-server/mylabstocks/admin/`.

So, keep in mind that it is normal usage of the application to navigate back and forth between the Front-End and the Back-End.
