Start the PPM user interface

This chapter describes how to start the PPM user interface.

To use PPM, you must log in as a user to an available PPM client. Depending on how PPM was installed, you call up the user interface via a Web browser or start it as a local installation.

Before you can start the user interface you need to start the required infrastructure components and PPM components.

In PPM, the system user is created with the password manager by default. You log in with this user/password combination if the password has not been changed and if you have not been configured as a PPM user.

Tip

For further information on PPM installation, please refer to the document PPM Installation or contact your system administrator.
