User interface
--------------

The User Interface (UI) is a website where you can login with your vantage6
user account. Which website this is, depends on the vantage6 server you are
using. If you are using the Cotopaxi server, go to
https://portal.cotopaxi.vantage6.ai and login with your user account.

Using the UI should be relatively straightforward. There are buttons
that should help you e.g. create a task or change your password. If
anything is unclear, please contact us via
`Discord <https://discord.com/invite/yAyFf6Y>`__.

.. note::
    If you are a server administrator and want to set up a user interface, see
    :ref:`this section <install-ui>` on deploying a UI.

.. note::
    If you are :ref:`running your own server <use-server>` locally with ``v6 dev``
    commands, the UI is started together with the network. How to use these commands
    is explained :ref:`here <local-test>`.
