Accessing the system

There are several ways you can access your Content Management system. Learn how to sign in to your system using the admin interface.

Throughout the documentation, websites powered by Squiz Content Management are the frontend of a Squiz Content Management system. So if a website is a frontend, that suggests you need a backend interface to create new pages and manage other aspects of your site and system.

The admin mode interface is what you use to edit content on pages and administer your site (depending on your user account type access level).
