Once you have the Intranet Portal website installed and running (please refer to the Installation topic for information on how this can be achieved), you can start getting familiar with its administration interface.

 

In Intranet User's Guide -> Getting started -> Intranet Portal overview, you can find an overview of the portal's structure, main sections and features. The rest of the Intranet User's Guide focuses on how particular sections of the portal can be used by ordinary live site users without access to the administration interface, so please refer to the appropriate sections of the guide if you are looking for this type of information.

 

As this guide describes administration of the solution from within its administration interface, we will start by logging on to this interface. Open your web browser and type in the URL of your intranet website, followed by the /cmsdesk postfix (e.g. //intra/cmsdesk).

 

 

Once you access the URL, you will be redirected to the administration interface's logon screen. The default administrator username is administrator with blank password. It is highly recommended that you change this password if you haven't done so yet. Enter your user name and password and click Log on.

 

 

You will be redirected to the Content tab of CMS Desk (as depicted in the screenshot below), which is the part of the administration interface where particular pages of the website can be edited. For a complete overview of Kentico CMS administration interface and the basics of content management in it, please refer to the whole Content management chapter of Kentico CMS Developer's Guide.
