Logging in to Cirrus (Author/System Admin)

Author/System Admin login

If you’re an Author or System Admin, follow these steps to log in:

• Go to your organisation’s Cirrus platform (e.g. https://organisationname.cirrusplatform.com)
• Enter your username and password
• You can change the default language on this screen or update it later
• Click Login to access your candidate dashboardd

Dual access: Author and Candidate

If needed, admins can enable a setting that allows you to log in as both an Author and a Candidate. This is useful for testing assessments yourself.

Login as (System Admins only)

System Admins have access to a login as feature. This allows them to access any user account in the system. It’s a powerful tool and should be used with care.

To use it:

• Go to Admin > Users.
• Click the eye icon on the far right of the user’s row
• A new tab or window will open, showing the user’s account

Single Sign-On

Cirrus supports several single sign-on options. If enabled, candidates can log in through their learning management system (LMS) and access Cirrus without entering separate credentials.

Cirrus Single Sign-On is fully self-service so the customer's IT can set it up after reading SAML 2.0 Single Sign-On (SSO) in our Tech Portal (including SAML 2.0 Troubleshooting)

Exit URL

After logging out, Cirrus can redirect authors and candidates to a custom information page of your choice. You can set this page in the Admin section of Cirrus.
