## Definition <a href="#id-1.16.x-contactmanagement-definition" id="id-1.16.x-contactmanagement-definition"></a>

The “Contact” section is about messages sent by users from the “Contact” page on the front side.

These messages can be sent from logged and unlogged users.

For each message sent from the contact page, a email is sent to the administrator email (platform configuration).

## Create a Contact <a href="#id-1.16.x-contactmanagement-createacontact" id="id-1.16.x-contactmanagement-createacontact"></a>

A super-administrator and administrator can not create a contact message, this is only for the users of a platform.

## Read the Contact in the SBO <a href="#id-1.16.x-contactmanagement-readthecontactinthesbo" id="id-1.16.x-contactmanagement-readthecontactinthesbo"></a>
