Signing in

Where to go, what to type, and what to do if you are the very first person here.

Signing in, start to finish.

Your Inkling lives at its own web address — usually your website's address with /admin on the end. Whoever set it up will have sent it to you. Bookmark it.

You will see a box asking for an email address and a password. Type the ones you were given and press Sign in. That is the whole thing.

If nobody has used it yet

The very first visit to a brand new Inkling looks slightly different: instead of asking you to sign in, it asks you to create the first account. Fill it in and that account becomes the owner — the person who can do everything, including adding everyone else.

This only happens once. After the first account exists, that screen becomes the ordinary sign-in form and nobody can use it to create a second account. There is no public sign-up, ever.

If you have forgotten your password

Ask a colleague with the admin or owner role to set you a new one from the Users screen. If you are the only person here, whoever set your Inkling up can reset it from the server with a single command — send them the phrase bun run password and they will know what to do.
