Console and PGB Business

PGBHub Console

The Console (console.pgbhub.com) is the control room. You create projects there, and a project is the home for the services behind an app or a business: data, files, code, containers, domains, backups and billing. The Console has its own guides and courses on PGB Learn; look for the ones beginning "Console".

Why it matters for the rest of the ecosystem:

• Studio deploys here. When you choose Deploy in Studio, you enter a "PGBHub project (name or ID)" and a container name, and your app goes live inside that project. You must have permission to manage the project.
• Agents read from here. The pgb.database.query tool can run a read-only query on a project database you can access.
• Marketplace installs here. A package can be installed into a Console project if you manage it. Secrets a package needs are added in the project's secret settings.
• Your account lives here. Account, password and sign-in settings are reached from the Console's account page.

PGB Business

PGB Business (business.pgbhub.com) is the team workspace. A single sign-in covers the apps in its sidebar, grouped as Communication (Today, Mail, Calendar, Contacts, Chat, Meet), Documents & Knowledge (Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, PDF, Notes, Learn), Work & Operations (Check-in, Tasks, Org Chart, Forms, Collections, Invoices, Sign) and Security & Intelligence (Assistant, Vault, and for administrators Shield and Admin).

The best way to learn it is the PGB 101: Foundations & Daily Workflow course, which walks through the workspace, mail, Drive, Check-in, Chat and Meet.

How it ties in:

• Agents use Business through PGB Business access: you create an API key in Business, give it only the access the agent needs, and save it on the agent with the Mailbox address. Tools such as business.mail.search, business.mail.draft, calendar.list and drive.search run without asking; sending mail and creating events always wait for your approval.
• Learn shows in the Business sidebar, and workspace owners and HR managers get Team training to adopt tracks and assign them.
• Marketplace Business resources and the Business workspace install target are for workspaces you manage.

Recap

• The Console holds projects and the services behind them; Studio deploys there and Agents can read from it.

• Start with PGB 101 for Business and the Console guides for the Console.
