Your MSL System comprises two essential areas. Firstly, your MSL website is the public-facing part of the system where your members and other users can access information, services, and resources. Your MSL System also includes your MSL Admin site, accessible only to authorised Super Admins, which also contains a suite of MSL Applications designed to manage various aspects of the MSL System, such as your Door Entry, Point of Sale, and Polling Station, along with a Report Server.
Your MSL Admin site is divided into functional areas, each dedicated to managing different aspects of your MSL System. Your ability to access these areas depends on the modules installed on your MSL System, and the permissions assigned to your MSL Admin site account by your Contractual System Admin. If you don't have an account or don't have access to the area you need, contact your Contractual System Admin in the first instance.
Access permissions for the MSL Admin site are separate from those for your MSL website. Having access to one does not automatically grant access to the other.
You can access this feature from your MSL Admin site. Only Super Admins can access the MSL Admin site.
Before logging into your MSL Admin site, you'll need a username and password. Look for an email with the subject starting with "New MSL Admin site account for..." or "New Admin Website account for...".
If you haven't received one, ask your Contractual System Admin to check if you have an account and to submit a request for one if needed.
