Troubleshooting

Access the CMS

Access Eligibility

Cru's content management system is only available to members that are given permission to use our system. 

With proper access, users can access the CMS admin conosole within the Cru network by visiting the following URL:

https://author.cru.org/

Login Information

Users will be redirected to the Cru login screen. Please enter in the email address and associated password to proceed further. If an error screen pops up, that means your user has not been given permissions. Please reach out to aem@cru.org if you feel that the error screen is an issue that should not appear for you.

Removing Access

If a specific user is no longer required access to the CMS, please promptly alert the AEM team (aem@cru.org) so the access can be terminated as soon as possible.

 

Troubleshooting

AEM admin portal is not loading (or returns a blank page).
The AEM CMS is only accessible within the Cru network. If you need to access the CMS Authoring Environment, you will need to connect using the Cru VPN when you are using public networks.
