Login to the Administration Console

The Swivel Administrator should have configured access to the Swivel Administration console, which may have been delivered automatically in an email or by SMS, with the following information:

  • Username
  • Password (optional)
  • PIN number
  • Security String for login (optional), by SMS, email, mobile phone client

For information on how to extract the One Time Code from the Security String, using the PIN number see PINsafe User Guide

Enter the Username

If you have been assigned a Swivel password enter it, otherwise leave the password field empty.

If you have a security string already, then using the PIN enter the OTC, (never enter the PIN number), otherwise click start session to generate a security string, as below.

Enter the One Time Code in the OTC field as below, then click login.

A successful login should either display the Status Page for Administrators, or the User Administration for Helpdesk users.


Known Issues

The cursor will automatically revert back to the password field rather than the OTC field.


Troubleshooting

Check the Swivel logs, see Troubleshooting Files FAQ

You cannot login to the Administration console unless you have either Admin or Helpdesk level access rights.
