Your First Login

The first thing you need to do, is log in as the Admin and change your password. By default, Tiki sets the initial password to admin.
Release 4.x Release 3.x Release 2.x Release 1.9.x

  1. In the Login box at the top of the page, type admin as the username and your administrator password.
    Login module
    The Login module allows users to log into your site.

    NoteNote:
    For security, the password is not shown.


  2. Click Login. If you typed everything correctly, the Change Password screen appears.
    Change Password screen.
    For your initial login as the Admin, you must change your password.


  3. Select a new password and click Change. Be sure to select a strong password for the admin account.
    TipTip:
    If you forget your password, don't panic. The I forgot my password feature can be used to recover a lost password. You can also reset passwords directly from the database.

The admin login is a special user account — it includes full administration rights to every Tiki feature. You cannot change the name of this account (for example, to make it your name), but you can create other accounts and then give these new accounts administrator rights.

We'll discuss this later in the Configuring User Logins section.

Now that you're logged in as the admin, notice that new menu options in the Menu module are available:
Menu
The Menu module now contains additional options.


TipTip:
The Toggle (Toggle) icon allow you to "roll up" the menu. Later, when adding modules, you'll see how to configure this option. Notice that the Menu module contains this button.


Also:
  • Additional buttons were added to the bottom of the Home Page.
    As the Admin, you have the ability to edit, remove, or lock the page. You can also assign specific permissions to the page.
  • The Login module (at the top of the page) changed — there's now a Logout button.
  • Notes have been added above the logo. These notes are visible only to the Administrator.
  • Additional help information has been added explaining how to use Profiles.

Home Page
The home page for the administrator (you), after logging in.



Tiki's robust group and permission settings allow you to control who sees what. This makes it easy to give users who visit your Tiki a unique experience depending on their account.

We'll discuss this later in the Using Permissions section.

Now that you're logged in (as the admin), you can start customizing Tiki to add the features you want. Let's begin by exploring the Administration pages.
