What will activating the web console (cockpit) do?

I just installed CentOS GNU/Linux (version 8 build 1905) on a machine; this wasn't my choice of distro - I'm a Debian man myself. Anyway, when I SSH into this machine (as a non-root user), it tells me: > Activate the web console with: systemctl enable --now cockpit.socket What will this web console have? On which port will it listen, and for whom? Can non-root users simply activate it when they want to? I'm somewhat baffled by this, as I'm not used to CentOS.
