# Accessing the Web UI (CMS)

Namazu Elements provides a simple interface to access its features and manage your in-game content via a locally run content management system, or CMS.

## Deploy in [Docker](https://namazustudios.com/glossary/docker/)

To access the Namazu Elements CMS, you must have Namazu Elements running in [Docker](https://namazustudios.com/glossary/docker/).

- [Elements in Five Minutes or Less](https://namazustudios.com/docs/getting-started/elements-in-five-minutes-or-less/)
- [Running Elements in Docker](https://github.com/NamazuStudios/docker-compose?tab=readme-ov-file)

## Login

Now that you have Elements running locally in [Docker](https://namazustudios.com/glossary/docker/), navigate to [http://localhost:8080/admin/login](http://localhost:8080/admin/login)

Login Prompt

If there are no users in the database, Elements will create one for you:

```
{
    "name": "root",
    "email": "root@example.com",
    "level": "SUPERUSER"
}
```

and password: `example`

See [Users and Profiles](../core-features/users-and-profiles) for more information on [User](https://namazustudios.com/glossary/user/) levels.

In this case, the [User](https://namazustudios.com/glossary/user/) [id](https://namazustudios.com/glossary/id/) can be either the [name](https://namazustudios.com/glossary/name/) or email of the [User](https://namazustudios.com/glossary/user/):

⚠️ **For security purposes, it is highly recommended to create a new SUPERUSER to serve as your administrative account, and delete the default account.**

Successfully logging in will take you to the Home screen, which should show you the version of Namazu Elements that you're running, as well as allow you to access all of the CMS tools.
