How to log on as Admin after installation

gateone -- on Jul. 23 2004

Hello!

I just installed YACS but do not really know how to proceed after that. Everything seems to work fine and YACS seems to direct me to a Control Panel which - I guess - is something like the Admin-Area of YACS. However, how do I log in? Using what login? Creating one will leave this one as a member, not as an administrator (or associate as you seem to call it).

Who can help?

During the installation process an admin account is created, ~~with a random password. If you have not noted this password, I am afraid you will have to redo the install...~~

Basically, an associate (or an admin, as others say) are just standard user profiles, except that they have the additional capability to behave like an associate.

The usual way to proceed is:

to install YACS - you will be considered automatically as an associate for this
~~to note the admin password created randomly~~
during the installation YACS will give you the opportunity to create a new user profile for you; ~~on the edit form, check the radio button to make it an associate~~
~~logout, then login using your new profile~~
if a problem arise, login using the admin account and change your profile
once you are able to login as an associate using your own profile, you should delete the admin account

Thank you for your feed-back, I will try to update the setup scripts to make this more simple to new users.

Hope it helps, Bernard
