Compass Version 1.3

Administration

The Compass Administration page is accessible only to users who are site-wide administrators. To access the administration page admin users can click on the 'Administration' tab in the main menu. On this page there are 8 sections:

1. Logs
2. Language Settings
3. Server Settings
4. Scripts
5. Build Configurations
6. User Administration
7. Project Administration
8. Source-Control Server

From this list, it should be apparent that most of the administration of the Compass Server is managed on the Administration Page. At the top of the page is a sub-menu that includes anchor links to the most commonly accessed sections on the administration page. Below is a brief description of what each section controls in Compass and provides links to the documentation on each section.
