# Understanding Company View vs My Cake Portal

Company View is where admins manage everything. My Cake Portal is the private space where your investors and employees see their individual holdings.

**Understanding Company View vs My Cake Portal**

Cake has two separate interfaces: the **Company View** where admins manage the cap table, and the **My Cake Portal** where investors and employees view their individual holdings. Understanding the difference helps you know what your stakeholders can and cannot see.

### Company View

Company View is your admin hub, where you spend most of your time managing the company. From here you can:

* Manage your cap table, shareholders, and share classes

* Set up and grant equity plans (options, RSUs, RSAs)

* Issue and sign documents and contracts

* Send messages and resolutions

* Run compliance reports and valuations

* Manage settings, billing, and user access

**Who can access it?** Only company users (co-pilots) you have invited. You can review who has access by going to **Settings** and selecting the **Company access** tab.

### My Cake Portal

My Cake Portal is your stakeholders' private space to view their individual holdings. As an admin, you control exactly what they can see, they do not have access to your full cap table.

**Who can access it?**

* **Shareholders**: can view their holdings once you have invited them as a stakeholder

* **Option holders**: can view their equity after you have sent their offer for signing or invited them as a stakeholder

Stakeholders only ever see their own position, not the full cap table.

### Preview the stakeholder experience

To see what your investors and employees see, go to **People → Stakeholder app**. This shows you a live preview of both the investor view and the grant holder view.

### What Happens Next

Once you understand the two views, the natural next step is to invite your stakeholders to their My Cake Portal, see [Invite Stakeholders to My Cake Portal](https://help.cakeequity.com/article/invite-stakeholders-to-my-cake-portal "https://help.cakeequity.com/article/invite-stakeholders-to-my-cake-portal").
