SITECORE LINKS AND LOGGING IN
Logging Into Sitecore
This page of the user guide will help Sitecore Contributors log in to Sitecore so that they are able to edit their pages. If you are not a Sitecore Contributor, you will have to take Sitecore Training before you are given access to the Sitecore editor.

Sitecore Links
There are two different links that can be used to log in.
Using the Test/Training Link
The test/training link below is the link you'll use for training and is different from the link that you'll use to make official edits to your departments web pages. This is not the official live website but will look, feel, and react very similar to live site and can be used for practice, testing, and to gauge what would happen on the live site if the changes being made were published. We encourage all editors to utilize this testing site as often as necessary to practice and test out changes before attempting to make changes within the live environment.
Test/Training Environment: http://sitecoretestcms.hscnet.hsc.usf.edu/sitecore
Contributor Login Link
After passing the certification test and contributor access has been granted, edits can be made within the live Sitecore web pages. A contributor should be comfortable editing within the training site before making changes within the production site.
Contributor Live Production Link: https://, Firefox, or Safari (MacOS).. |
