Administrative Toolbar

Toolbar

When you are logged into the site, the administrative toolbar will be displayed at the top of the site:

Appearance

By default, the toolbar appears horizontally across the top. Clicking the arrow button on the right hand side can toggle the toolbar to appear vertically on the left hand side (if that is your preference).

Editing Sites

You can only access the administrative screens and edit a site if you are both:

  • Using the UTM VPN / on a campus staff network
  • Logged in

There can be a scenario where you have a logged in session on your browser, but have disconnected from the UTM VPN. If this happens, you may be able to see the toolbar on the already opened page and some admin pages, but you won't be able to visit other admin screens or make edits.

Please always ensure that you are on the correct network when trying to edit a site.
