Sign In and Find Your Way Around

After these steps you are signed in, you know where every panel opens from, and you know where to switch the language, change your password and log out.

  • The CMS is running. On the Quickstart stack it answers at http://localhost:8180, with the account admin and the password admin123. When the API behind it does not answer, or sign-in answers 429: Troubleshooting.
  • Any staff role signs in: Viewer, Editor, Manager or Administrator. The admin account is a superuser and sees every panel.
  1. Open the CMS address. On the Sign in screen, type your Username (1) and Password (2), then select Log in (3).

    The Sign in screen with the Username field, the Password field and the Log in button marked 1 to 3.

  2. The home screen opens with Choose a panel to get started. The sidebar (1) lists the panels, each card (2) opens one panel, and the user button (3) opens your menu. Home shows only the panels your role may read. A panel the backend has not enabled shows a locked card that reads Contact your administrator to enable this module.

    The home screen with panel cards, with the sidebar, the Pages card and the user button marked 1 to 3.

  3. In the sidebar, under Panels, select a panel that has an arrow. The group opens and lists the panel’s pages (1); select one to go there. Collapse sidebar (2) at the bottom collapses it.

    The sidebar with the PIM group open on Products, Categories, Attribute Sets and Attributes, marked 1, and the collapse button marked 2.

  4. Select the user button in the top right corner. The menu holds the theme switch (Light mode while the CMS is in the dark theme), Field hints, and under Language the choice between English (1) and Polski. Change password is here too, and Log out (2) ends the session.

    The user menu with the language choice English marked 1 and Log out marked 2.

You are signed in and on the home screen. Every panel your role may read is one click away, from a card or from the sidebar.
