# Access the console
You use the console to manage your cluster from a web browser. Tasks that are available from the console include upgrading versions, configuring security features, working with custom plugins, and more.
To access the console in a browser from the Heroku CLI:
```bash
heroku addons:open foundelasticsearch --app MY_APP
Opening https://addons-sso.heroku.com/apps/e286f875-cbdb-47a9-b445-e94bnnnnnnnn/addons/9b883e93-3db3-4491-b620-c3dfnnnnnnnn...
```

Alternatively, you can access the console by visiting the [Heroku Dashboard](https://dashboard.heroku.com/), selecting your app, and opening the Elasticsearch link.
