Logging In and Out

Logging into an Ektron Web Site

To sign on to an Ektron site:

2. Click the Login button. The Login dialog box appears.
   

   

   

3. Enter your username and password.

   If you are using one of Ektron’s sample sites, you can use any of 3 standard users that demonstrate Ektron’s flexible user-permissions model. The following table shows the username and password needed to log in as each user type, as well as the permissions assigned to each user.

   User Type	Username	Password	Permissions
   Administrator	admin	admin	All
   Standard user	jedit	jedit	Basic (for example, add/edit content, manage library files, etc.)
   Membership user	jmember	jmember	Read-only permission to private content

4. Click the Login button. The Web page appears.

   You can navigate around the Web site as you could before signing in, but the content is either surrounded by a border or has an access point () in the top left corner of the content.

   

   

Logging Out of the Sample Site

To log out of Ektron:

1. Click Logout from the content menu, or on the Web page. The Logout confirmation box appears.

   

2. Click Logout. You return to the Web page from which you logged out. However, it is in standard view, not Ektron view.

Previewing a Site

To toggle site preview on and off:

1. Navigate to a page that includes the login/logout button.
2. Click . The Web site is now in preview mode.

   

3. To turn preview mode off, click on the login screen.
