Using a suitable user from the user database you have selected for WinGate, you are required to log in before being able to access the Web Admin page.
When appropriate, modules in WinGate will provide a tabbed page on the main Web Admin page, where you can perform some simple tasks particular to that module. These pages are provided according to the WinGate permissions that have been set in the respective WinGate modules, for the user who is accessing the Web Admin page.
This allows you to tailor the functionality provided by the Web Admin service depending on who logs in.

Enter the credentials of an administrative user in the user database you have chosen for WinGate. This will then open the Web Admin page.
Remember that each of the administrative tabs available on the Web Admin page are provided by a particular module. As such, the appearance of each tab will be dependent on the types of WinGate permissions granted for the logged in user, to that particular module.
