<big>A couple of important things to know before logging in for the first time:</big>
<big>- Your miraheze username, unlike most platforms, '''<u>is case-sensitive</u>'''. So, please use the exact same username that you see in the e-mail that you get, '''<u>including spaces and capital letters</u>'''. If you miss any character or make a mistake, you will get an error message saying "invalid username".</big>
<big>- Errors have been reported on browsers other than Edge. So, using Edge browser is highly recommended, but it shouldn't be necessary.</big>
<big>In order to reduce unauthorized login attempts, we have removed all links to the login page and other special pages from the main page. Thus, please do not share the above URL with anyone except fellow
== <big>Admin links page</big> ==
<big>When an administrator logs in, they get access to certain additional features</big> <big>by clicking the ''''Admin links'''<nowiki/>' page in the top right, as shown below:</big>
[[File:Admin links.png|border|center|1126x1126px]]
<big>On clicking this link, you will be taken to a page which has the following options:</big>
[[File:Admin options2.png|border|center|1126x1126px]]
<big>In order to stay concise, this guide will explain only the</big> <big>options that site admins will be using on a daily basis and are relevant to our work at this point of time. Other options can be explored later if required.</big>
== <big>Create account</big> ==
<big>Managing user accounts is one of the most important tasks of site admins, and creating new accounts is an integral part of the same.</big>
<big>In order to create a new user account, please obtain the '''<u>desired username</u>''' and '''<u>e-mail address</u>''' from the new user first.</big>
<big>Clicking on ''''Create account'''<nowiki/>' under admin links will take you to a page that looks like this:</big>
[[File:Creating new account.png|border|center|1126x1126px]]<big>Follow the steps shown above to create a new user account:</big>
<big>- Enter the username for the new user.</big>
<big>- '''Select''' the checkbox that says ''''Use a temporary random password...'''<nowiki/>'. This will remove some of the input fields that you need to fill in.</big>
<big>- Enter the e-mail address of the new user.</big>
<big>- Finally, click the blue ''''Create account'''<nowiki/>' button.</big>
<big>The user will get an e-mail with a temporary password that they can use to log in, and will be prompted to change their password immediately after their first login.</big>
== <big>User list</big> ==
<big>Clicking on ''''User list'''<nowiki/>' under admin links will take you to a page that looks like this:</big>
[[File:User list.png|border|center|1126x1126px]]
<big>On scrolling down, you can see that this is simply a list of all user accounts on the site along with the user groups that they are a part of. You can visit this page to check the user groups assigned to a user account, verify that an account exists, or to find out a particular username (using the search feature) at the top.</big>
== <big>User rights</big> ==
<big>This is the most important page that admins will need to use for group assignment, and can be accessed by clicking on ''''User rights'''<nowiki/>' under admin links.</big>
[[File:Userrights1.png|border|center|1126x1126px]]
<big>On entering the correct username and then clicking on the button on the right, the following section loads underneath:</big>
[[File:Userrights2.png|border|1126x1126px]]
<big>Here, you can assign groups to / remove group membership for the user account entered, and then click on the button at the bottom to save the changes. You may enter a reason to keep track of the change if required. Group creation and management is beyond the scope of this guide and is therefore not included.</big>
== <big>View all pages</big> ==
<big>Clicking on ''''All pages'''<nowiki/>' under admin links takes you to a page that looks like this:</big>
[[File:Allpages.png|border|center|1126x1126px]]
<big>On scrolling down, you can see that this is simply a list of all pages on the website, similar to the sitemap on the old Google Sites platform. This is a good place to search for pages whose link may not be found on the main page or elsewhere, and may also be helpful during clean-up activities.</big>
