SITE application administration

Introduction

TheSITE administration area Ametys is a web interface used to perform SITE application administration tasks. In particular, this is where you can manage site users (or front-office users) and enter a few application-specific configuration parameters.

To access the SITE administration interface, enterURL in your browser's address bar:

http://{serveur-site[:port]}/_admin

This means entering the address of your back office( CMS) followed by '/_admin'.

http://monapplicationsite.com/_admin

All the information and settings in this Administrator Area relate to the SITE application. Thus, even if the functionalities are sometimes the same as those documented for the Administrator Area of the CMS application, the data manipulated here are those of the SITE application.
For example, the logs that can be exploited are those of the SITE application and have no relation to those of the CMS application.

This page details the features specific to the SITE administration interface and any differences with the general documentation (that of the CMS application).
