Log in / Log out

When you are not logged into Swarm, certain features are unavailable to you, such as providing comments to changes or reviews, adding projects, and more.

To log in:

  1. Click the Log in link found at the right of the main toolbar.
  2. Type in your username and password, appropriate for the Helix server that Swarm is configured to use.

  3. Select the Remember Me check box if you prefer to stay logged in between browser restarts.

    Note

    The Helix server can enforce maximum login times. You may become logged out even if Remember Me is checked.

  4. Click the Login button.
Note

Whenever you log in, Swarm continues displaying the same page. Any features available to logged-in users appear automatically.

To log out:

  1. Click your userid, found at the right of the main toolbar.
  2. Select Log out from the drop-down menu.

require_login

By default, Swarm requires users to login, which prevents anonymous users from accessing a Helix server via Swarm. Users who have not logged in see a login page immediately when visiting Swarm:

The steps to log in are identical to using the Login dialog.

Swarm administrators can disable require_login to allow anonymous users to see commits, reviews, etc.

Note

service and operator users are not permitted to login.

For more information on these user types, see the Helix Versioning Engine Administrator Guide: Fundamentals.
