Administrator manual

Log-In

If you are on the starting page click on the START NOW button to log in an existing account or to create a new one. By default the database provides two accounts: tuser and sadmin (credentials of sadmin can be found in the documentation in api/config). Since our Log in system works with cookies, you're able to stay logged in even if you close your browser (the cookie disappears after one hour inaktivity).

If you successfully logged in, you should see the admin dashboard. You might need to reload the page to be able to scroll. On the top right you can see the your username. By clicking on that, a dropdown menu opens where you can change the theme, view your profile and log out. On the dashboard itself, 5 buttons exist. You can:

  1. List all existing users

  2. List all existing exercises

  3. Add an exercise

  4. Add a user

  5. Show all submitted solutions
