Logging Into Sitecore

There are two different links that can be used to log in.
Using the Test/Training Link
The best practice for preparing to make edits to your site as a Contributor is to test the changes in the test or training environment. This environment reacts the same as the live site and can be used to gauge what would happen on the live site if the changes being made were published.
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.
