 +    * Only users from your facility will be displayed. If the list is long, you can type the first few characters of your username in the //Search users// field to shorten the list to usernames that begin with what you have typed. 
 +    * If you're just opening mSupply for the first time after installing it, select //user 1(pass= user1)//   
 +    * Each time it opens, mSupply will default to the user who last logged in. 
 + 
 +  * **Password:** enter your password 
 +    * If using the //user 1(pass= user1)// name, type ''user1'' as the password. 
 + 
 +  * **Store:** from the drop-down list, select the store you want to log in to.  
 +    * Most mSupply users will only be able to access a single store. For users who have access to more than one store, the login screen allows you to select any of the stores to which you have access. Once you have logged in you can switch the store without logging out - see [[admin:user_tasks#switching_stores|Switching stores]].  
 +    * After selecting the desired store, all transactions you process will relate to that store. 
 +    * **Supervisors and other Level 1 users** will have an additional menu item, //Supervisor - All stores//. In this mode, all stores are accessible. You would use this mode, for example, when placing an order for supplies that will be distributed to a number of stores or for reporting on more than one store - see [[other_stuff:virtual_stores]]. 
 +    * **HIS** - if you have enabled the Hospital Info System (HIS) in the user login permission settings, and at least one licence is allocated to HIS (see [[his:preferences|HIS preferences]]), then you will also see // Hospital Info System// in the list of stores. If you select this, the login mode automatically changes to //HIS mode//. 
 + 
 +  * **Messages:** view any messages that might be displayed. 
 + 
 +  * Finally, click //OK// to login. If login is successful you will be taken to the navigator screen.

After selecting the desired store, all transactions will relate to that store until you return to the login screen and select a different store from the drop down menu.

If you select this, the login mode automatically changes to //HIS mode//.
