Logging In

The plugin has two completely separate login pages and two kinds of account: There’s a link on each login page to switch to the other. The default administrator account is admin / changeme — you are forced to change this password on first sign-in and cannot skip it.

​
The product license gate

Separately from PADS4 licensing, this plugin itself needs to be activated with an NDS-issued license key. Until an administrator activates it:
  • Administrators are redirected straight to License & activation and can’t reach Settings.
  • PADS4 users are blocked at sign-in with a message that the installation isn’t activated (or has expired).
See Administration - License and Activation for how to activate. The left-hand navigation changes based on which kind of account you’re signed in as. PADS4 users see the reporting features (Dashboard through Scheduled reports); administrators see Overview, Settings, and License. There is no combined view — an administrator who also needs to use the reporting features signs out and back in as a PADS4 user.
