About us
This manual is intended for people wishing to administer Ametys. No technical prerequisites are required to understand this manual.
All administration functions are accessible via a web interface.
Introduction
TheAmetys administration area is a web interface. It is used for application administration tasks.
The administration interface is translated into French and English by default.
The interface language will be selected automatically according to your browser's language preferences.
In this manual, and for Ametys in general, whenever the administration area is mentioned, this implicitly refers to theadministration of theAmetys CMS application.
The SITE application, where it exists, has a similar administration interface, although it offers fewer tools than the CMS application interface and is easier to configure.
The documentation available in this manual is that of the CMS application administration interface. There is, however, a section dedicated to theadministration of the SITE application, detailing the specifics of this area.
