1. A computer-implemented method for customizing a display of system services within an administrative interface comprising the steps of:
- categorizing system services into functional categories based on functions of the system services, wherein the system services are software programs that constantly run in the background of an operating system that perform actions for the operating system;
establishing a plurality of system service profiles based on functional roles of users, each system service profile representing a customized subset of the system services;
detecting a request for the presentation of system services from a user;
ascertaining an identity of the user and at least one functional role associated with the user;
determining at least one of said system service profiles corresponding to the at least one functional role of the user;
determining at least one system service to be displayed in accordance with the at least one determined system service profile; and
displaying the determined at least one system service within the administrative interface in a manner that the determined at least one system service is navigable based on the functional categories of the determined at least one system service, the at least one determined system service profile corresponding to the user, and computing devices providing the determined at least one system service.

Abstract
A method for presenting system services can include the step of establishing a multitude of system service profiles. A request for the presentation of system services can be detected. One of the system service profiles associated with the request can be determined. For example, the system service profile can be determined based at least in part upon user identity. The system service profile can also be determined based at least in part upon server identity. At least one system service can be listed in accordance with the determined system service profile.

7. A machine-readable storage having stored thereon, a computer program having a plurality of code sections, said code sections executable by a machine for causing the machine to perform the steps of:
-
categorizing system services into functional categories based on functions of the system services, wherein the system services are software programs that constantly run in the background of an operating system that perform actions for the operating system; establishing a plurality of system service profiles based on functional roles of users, each system service profile representing a customized subset of the system services; detecting a request for the presentation of system services from a user; ascertaining an identity of the user and at least one functional role associated with the user; determining at least one of said system service profiles corresponding to the at least one functional role of the user; determining at least one system service to be displayed in accordance with the at least one determined system service profile; and displaying the determined at least one system service within an administrative interface in a manner that the determined at least one system service is navigable based on the functional categories of the determined at least one system service, the at least one determined system service profile corresponding to the user, and computing devices providing the determined at least one system service.

8. A computer-implemented system for customizing a display of system services within an administrative interface comprising:
-
means for categorizing system services into functional categories based on functions of the system services, wherein the system services are software programs that constantly run in the background of an operating system that perform actions for the operating system; means for establishing a plurality of system service profiles based on functional roles of users, each system service profile representing a customized subset of the system services; means for detecting a request for the presentation of system services from a user; means for ascertaining an identity of the user and at least one functional role associated with the user; means for determining at least one of said system service profiles corresponding to the at least one functional role of the user; means for determining at least one system service to be displayed in accordance with the at least one determined system service profile; and means for displaying the determined at least one system service within the administrative interface in a manner that the determined at least one system service is navigable based on the functional categories of the determined at least one system service, the at least one determined system service profile corresponding to the user, and computing devices providing the determined at least one system service.
