The Control Panel

The control panel for your Caribou installation is located at /admincp relative to the directory you installed Caribou. It is secured by usernames and passwords. During the installation wizard, a default Super Administrator account is created and this will be your first login here. The Super Administrator can then add other staff accounts with varying levels of privileges.

Your entire website and business can be managed from this control panel. Here, you will:

• Add, edit, and delete content,
• Add new content types via backend forms,
• Manage your members (or add new ones), and
• Modify your Caribou settings, theme, etc.

Step-by-step guides for site management are not necessary as the control panel is very intuitive, includes contextual tips, and is hard to make irreversible errors in. However, this section will provide some insight into the basics of managing content and certain featured areas of the control panel that justify introduction and explanation.
