==Overview==
As the name suggests, the Login page is where you log into and out of the BatchServe server.What you can do once you’re logged in depends on whether you are logged in as a user or an administrator.
- Users are allowed to submit jobs and manage any jobs that they’ve submitted. This includes the ability to manage job tasks, start, stop, and delete jobs and tasks, and edit job options.
- Administrators have full access to the BatchServe server. They can do all of the things that regular users can do, but for any job rather than only those jobs that they’ve submitted. Administrators can also:
- Add, remove, and manage users and groups.
- Change the group to which users and client machines belong.
- Grant administrative privileges to, or revoke them from other users.
- Control client machines remotely (setting clients to accept or refuse jobs for example).
- Perform maintenance tasks like cleaning the client tables and job tables.
If you are not logged in at all, you can view the various BatchServe pages, but cannot make any changes at all.
Logging In
Before you can start submitting jobs to BatchServe, you must log into the server.
- Go to the Login page.
- Type your name and password in the appropriate fields.
- Click the Login button.
The User Login controls are replaced by the User Logout controls.
Congratulations, you are logged in!
If you are an administrator, you can follow the “Thank you, Click to Continue” link to go directly to the Administration Tools page.
Logging in For the First Time
If you are logging in for the first time after installing BatchServe, use the following username and password combination:
Username: admin
Password: admin
This is a default administrative account that allows the administrator to access BatchServe for the first time. It is recommended that you delete this user and create a new administrator username and password right away.
Logging Out
Once you’re finished using BatchServe, log yourself out by clicking the Logout button in the User Logout controls.
| If you need to make changes to your account information, click the Edit User Information link. This lets you change your account information, but you can’t make any administrative changes unless you’re an administrator. |
