Pre-Made Accounts for Testing

Important Information about the Sandbox

Feel free to make as many new accounts as you need!

Superusers refer to a user account that has every permission. If you need, you can log in as this superuser:

NOTE: ONLY USE AN ADMIN ACCOUNT FOR TESTING IF YOU TRULY NEED TO USE AN ADMIN ACCOUNT

username: admin@edly.io

password: admin

We have one default non-superuser account you can use, although for many tests it's best to use your own account.

username: student@edly.io

password: student
