Kentico CMS Intranet Administrator's Guide is a guide intended for administrators of Kentico Intranet Solution, i.e. the Intranet Portal sample website based on Kentico CMS. It provides information on how the solution can be managed from within the system's administration interface.

 

Pre-requisites

 

Before you start using this guide, it is recommended that you get familiar with the contents of Kentico CMS Intranet User's Guide. Kentico CMS Intranet User's Guide is a guide intended for end users of the solution and provides information on how it can be used by an ordinary company employee accessing only the front-end website, not the administration interface. By going through the guide, you will get an overview of the structure of the portal, its main features and functionality.

 

The next thing that is expected from you before referring to this guide is to go through Kentico CMS Tutorial. Kentico CMS Tutorial is intended for first-time users of Kentico CMS, describing the system's installation and the basics of its administration interface. The level of knowledge covered by the tutorial is necessary to understand most of the topics in this guide.

 

Where to go next

 

If you meet all the pre-requisites listed above, but you are new to Kentico Intranet Solution, we recommend proceeding to the Getting started chapter. The Installation topic in the chapter will guide you step-by-step through the installation of the Intranet Portal sample website. Once the website is installed and running, you may proceed to the Accessing the administration interface topic, where the solution is described from the administrator's point of view. Finally, you may refer to the Configuration for WebDAV editing topic, which describes additional configuration of the system necessary for WebDAV editing to be functional.

 

Further information sources

 

This guide is not the only source of information related to the solution or Kentico CMS in general. Complete documentation of Kentico CMS can be found at http://devnet.kentico.com/documentation.aspx. At this address, you can find various documentation guides, each of them describing the system from a different perspective or aimed at a different target audience.

 

The most important of the guides listed on the above mentioned page is Kentico CMS Developer's Guide. It is the most comprehensive guide for developers and administrators of the system, providing a full reference on its installation, configuration and functionality of all its features and built-in modules. You will find many links referring to the Developer's Guide throughout this guide, as most of the information necessary for administration of the solution is already contained in it.
