The first action needed by a user is to log in to the system by entering a username and password. It is possible to check the “Remember me next time” check box in which case a cookie (valid for 30 days) will be set in the browser to avoid need to login next time using the same browser. After logging in the user will either be redirected to the “Send SMS” view (role User) or the “Dashboard” view (roles Admin and Owner).
The user credentials are compared to the “Web user” information stored in the “emgp_users” table.
