There are three user interfaces where users log in to use and administrators log in to manage and configure Buttonwood Automate:
- Buttonwood Automate UI: The primary user interface used to perform tasks
- Buttonwood Automate Admin UI: The user interface used to perform appliance administration tasks
- Buttonwood Automate Appliance Console: The console of the virtual appliance used to configure network settings
This procedure describes the steps required to log in to each user interface.
The default passwords for each interface are listed in the article Buttonwood Automate - Default Passwords.
