How To Access The Administration Area
The administration area of the website will display links to all of the administrative features available to your account.
If you ever become lost in your website or are unable to locate the administration area via menus and links only, then this is the simplest way to access: http://your.website.com/admin
Logging In
Generally, a Drupal website will display a login box or a link to the login page, but this is not mandatory and really dependent on the purpose of the website. However, on all Drupal websites the login page can be accessed using this URL:
http://your.website.com/user/loginExercise:
- Open your website in the Web Browser
- Locate the login box (if not visible, enter the login URL as shown above)
- Enter your username and password
- Click Log in button to login
- If the user name and password are correct, then you should now be logged in
Logging Out
Once you have logged into the website, you will automatically remain logged in until you logout. So if you are working from someone else's computer, it is a good idea to logout at the end of your session. Otherwise anyone using that computer could login to your website as you and make changes (eek!).
To log out simply go to:
You will then be logged out of the website.
If you were already logged out of the website and attempt to access a restricted page the website will display an Access denied page.
