  • Overview

    The Admin User account is the first account created on a newly installed Jamroom CMS.

    It has a lot more powers than every other account created after it. This account is used to configure the system, add new modules and allocate resources.

    Immediately after Jamroom CMS has been installed it will look like this:

    The admin user will be prompted to continue to system check after their account has been successfully created. The System Check page is a tool provided by the 'System Core' module that tests whether your server meets the minimum requirements or not.

    It will show you any issues that are recommended to be fixed in order to make your server function well.

  • System Check Help Message

  • The yellow help messages come from the 'System Tips' module and are intended to give you direction about what you are seeing on the page.

    Once you are comfortable finding your way around the ACP you can turn off the System Tips module to completely remove these.
