How to access the community back office

Now that your community is created, you need to access its back office to fully fulfill your new admin role! Here's how to proceed.

Login procedure

Step 1 - Account creation

To access the community back office, you first need to create an account on it, as if you were a member. 

Then, you can request back office access from your CSM, who will grant you the admin role.

Step 2 - Accessing the back office login page

To access the community back office, you must first enter the correct URL directly into your browser. Use the following format: https://[your community name]/admin2

Replace [your community name] with your specific subdomain.

Save this link in your favorites before logging in for simplified access later.

Step 3 - Authentication

The steps to follow are as follows: 

If your community does not use SSO login

  1. Enter the same username and password used in Step 1
  2. A new Code from 2FA app field appears
  3. Download a two-factor authentication application (we recommend using Microsoft Authenticator, Google Authenticator or Authy) 
  4. Scan the QR code to generate a code
  5. Enter the generated code from the application in the dedicated field below the QR code
  6. Click Login

If your community uses SSO login

In cases where the community is configured with SSO (Single Sign-On), you first need to create a new password.

  1. Click Forgot password ? to reset your password
  2. You will receive an e-mail allowing you to set a new one
  3. When done, return to the back office login page and follow the same steps as for communities without SSO

Note: a 2FA code will be requested at every back office login (only for community administrators).

FAQ

I entered the URL in my browser but login doesn't work
  1. Check the link: if you see "all/login", this means you added the link to your favorites after logging into your account.
  2. Try again with the correct link matching this format: https://[your community name]/admin2 by properly replacing your specific domain name
  3. Add this link to your favorite tabs before logging into your account

 

If login still doesn't work:

  1. Try to reset your password and restart the procedure
  2. Follow this checklist to resolve the issue if it persists
  3. Contact our support to be informed of any ongoing maintenance that might temporarily prevent logins
My 2FA code doesn't work

If you changed your mobile, the 2FA might have been disconnected from the platform.

 

Please contact our support so we can generate a new QR code allowing to reconnect your account with the back office again.
