Starting SkylineGlobe Server Manager and Logging In

The SkylineGlobe Server (SGS) Manager is a centralized web management and configuration tool for controlling and monitoring the services provided by SGS and your SkylineGlobe servers, configuring general SkylineGlobe Server settings and various elements of your TEF application, managing your users, and more. For more information, see "What is the SkylineGlobe Server Manager" in the "Basic Concepts" chapter. Note that SGS Manager can only be accessed by an administrator.
