Before you start

Make sure you can sign in the site successfully. You should also have got the confirmation that your account has been granted with the association administrator role.

What is the admin portal (CMS)

The admin portal (CMS) is a web-based application that allows association administrators, club administrators, referees, team managers and coachers to manage the related resources, e.g. clubs, players, teams, registrations, venues, fields, age groups, competitions, fixtures, referees, appointments, etc.

CMS stands for Competition Management System.

How to enter the admin portal

You can enter the admin portal via the CMS menu item on the top right corner of the browser window. If you cannot see the CMS menu item, please contact support team to confirm your role settings.

What are the features available in the admin portal

The features available are based on the roles granted to your account. If you are an association administrator, that means you have access to all the features in the admin portal. All the functions shipped by MyCompApp are available to you.

There are some built-in roles that have less permissions than the association administrator role. You can also create your own roles with different permissions.

These roles are there for proper access control, management of responsibilities, data privacy and security.

View the built-in help

Despite this tutorial, you can view the built-in help by clicking the question mark icon on the top right corner of any page in the admin portal. The help contents change automatically based on the page you are on.

In the software, you can see a lot of question mark icons throughout the software. Clicking or move the mouse over them will display a tooltip with a description of the feature.
