The Admin Menu presents the tools that are used to create and maintain the structures that allow transactions to occur: an organization’s administrative information, rules, and processes. It facilitates solutions for an organization’s workforce goals and objectives by defining the data objects that affect visibility, user access, and transactional workflows.
To access the Admin Menu, you’ll click on the Admin icon—which looks like a gear—at the bottom of the navigation bar.

Admin Configuration Menu
The Admin Menu is divided into sections. Each section pertains to an area where users with relevant access and permissions can configure and manage various options for the tenant. These options, listed under each section heading, are referred to as Admin Objects.

The Rate Structure section in SAP Fieldglass Administration is used to create the series of building blocks that are combined to define how workers get paid based on various criteria, such as job function, location, and hours worked.
