Logging In

You will be able to log in to your Salsa CRM database using your web browser from any computer with an internet connection and an internet browser.

Salsa CRM server addresses, or URLs, are in the format https://ABCD.crm.salsalabs.org, where the "ABCD" represents your website domain. So if your organization is the Organization for International Change, and your website is oicintl.org, your Salsa CRM URL will be https://oicintl.crm.salsalabs.org.

At first, only the admin login is defined for your organization, with a default password set up automatically and communicated to your organization by your Salsa implementation specialist. Once you use that login for the first time, you can define new users as you need.

NOTE: If you see a "Forbidden" message show in your browser when you attempt to log in to Salsa CRM, edit your URL to read https://<sitename>.crm.salsalabs.org/ui/auth/login and try again.

PRO TIP: Since the system tags all data entry with who entered it (based on the user logged in) and when they entered it, everyone should have a unique login for Salsa CRM.
