Administration¶
You can access the administration page by clicking on your account name in the upper right corner of any page
in nextPYP, and then clicking on the “Administration” link that appears on the next page.
The “Administration” link will only appear if your nextPYP user has been granted administrative privileges.
If the link doesn’t appear for you, you may need to ask your nextPYP administrator for help.
