I've logged in to SharePoint Online in Office 365, but I'm not able to see Central Admin section. I want to know if a Central Admin section is available on SharePoint Online or, if not, how we can access the same settings that were available there.

We dont have a Central admin in Office 365.
We have an admin site for SharePoint specific service applications, you can navigate to it via below url
https://tenantname-admin.sharepoint.com/
You need SharePoint admin permissions for that.
Tenantname is the .onmicrosoft.com
name that you choose when registering for a subscription.

Check this link - sharepointnutsandbolts.com/2016/08/… No code wsp is possible. If the wsp contains dll, then its not possible. Also, by deploy if you mean
add-spsolution
andinstall-spsolution
, then, thats not possible. But SharePoint designer workflows (no code behind) is possible. Jan 20, 2017 at 6:35
There is no traditional central admin in SharePoint online as we do not have full control in Office 365.
In Office 365 / SharePoint-Online we have the admin center where we have the all the options which Microsoft allow us( very limited as compare to on-prem.).
you can access it on this url https://portal.office.com/adminportal
, from here click on SharePoint Under the Admin Center. if you have proper permission.
In SharePoint on-prem, we have full control in the environment that's why we have the central admin to manage the settings of SharePoint.
