Signing in

The admin lives at /admin on your site. Sign in with your Email and Password.

An invitation email has a link to Welcome! Choose a password. Pick a password of at least 12 characters and choose Save password and sign in. Invitation links work for 7 days; if yours has expired, ask an administrator to invite you again.

Choose Forgot your password? on the sign-in page and enter your email. If it has an account, a reset link arrives within a minute or two. The link works for 1 hour. Setting a new password signs you out on every other device.

Signing in with your organization’s account

Section titled “Signing in with your organization’s account”

If your site uses single sign-on, the sign-in page has an extra button such as Sign in with SSO or Sign in with Google. Use it to sign in with your work account instead of a password. See Single sign-on.

If you’ve turned on two-step sign-in, you’re asked for a code from your authenticator app after your password. Your site may require it for everyone with admin access.

After resetting a forgotten password, you sign in again with the new password and a code. A reset link alone never gets past the second step.

You stay signed in for 14 days from your last visit. Sign out from the admin menu.

To protect accounts, sc-cms pauses sign-ins:

  • after 10 failed attempts for the same email within 15 minutes;
  • after 20 attempts per minute from the same network.

Wait a few minutes and try again, or reset your password.
