The training site we’re using for this course is based on the Drupal staging site for Emory Libraries. The log in process will be different but the user interface you experience in this course will be similar to your final launched site.

Here is the URL for our training site: https://stage.libraries.emory.edu

The nice thing about a special training or test site like this is that you can explore. A “sandbox” site makes it easy to learn and experiment in a safe way.

Logging into your Training Site

Visit your Training Site address:

https://stage.libraries.emory.edu/user

...to enter the credentials below. This will log you into your training site.

First, you will need to get through HTTP authentication. This is a way to secure your site while under development. HTTP authentication will appear as a pop-up in your browser.

Username: emorydev

Password:Em0ry*2022

Once past the HTTP authentication, you will complete the Drupal login form with the training login. This login allows you to work in the training site as a Content Editor. You will of course have your own login credentials for the production website.

Username: Content Editor

Password:V!9YzRm-_Ho7

Your Administration Toolbar

When you are logged in you see a black administration toolbar at the top of the page. You will also notice you have been redirected to your user account section featuring the Moderation Dashboard. If you click on your username (top right), options related to your user account appear in the white submenu beneath the black toolbar. When working on the site, you can click on your username in the top right corner at any time to return to your account submenu options.

Moderation Dashboard

By default, whenever you log in you will be directed to your Moderation Dashboard. This provides a top-level view of the website activities that are important to you. You can return to the dashboard at any time by navigating to your user account name in the black toolbar and then clicking Moderation Dashboard in the submenu.

Your User profile

Depending on how profiles are set up on your site, you may be able to change your user picture, add biographical info and change your password. Click the Edit profile link in the white submenu to see what you can change.
