Note, you must have an existing account on your website which is tied to the CU LDAP aka your identikey username. If you are in need of an account please reach out to ciresithelp@colorado.edu and please provide your identikey username, CU email address, as well as your full name.

  1. While on the CU VPN, browse to “admin-cires.colorado.edu/user @ or your-site-name.edu/user’
  2. Use your CU Identikey username and password
  3. You will now be logged in and may begin making edits and new content.

Note that Drupal ALWAYS has a login that utilizes the ‘/user’ path

Depending on your editing needs, you will be assigned a role type. Each role has varying degrees of permissions on the site.
