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.

Log in to Swarm

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 selected. Swarm administrators can change the maximum login time, see Sessions for details.

4. Click the Login button.
Note

If Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is configured for your Helix Server, complete your additional MFA steps to log in to Swarm.

Log out of Swarm

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

If Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is configured for your Helix Server, logging out of Swarm will not invalidate your MFA status. If you log back in to Swarm while your MFA status is still valid, you will not be prompted to complete the additional MFA log in steps.

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.
