How to Use SiteLock

Once you are logged in, you will see the navigation menu on the left. Below is a brief overview of each tab on the navigation menu:

• Overview - A centralized location for checking on the status of your domains and managing your SiteLock account. This is the page you first see when you log in, and you will use it the most.

  
   

• Sites - Shows you a list of websites SiteLock actively monitors. You can also view the status of these domains and add new ones to your account.

  
   

• Users- This shows you a list of users you have created (together with their login email and role). Note that if you have not created any users, you will just see one user with the role of the owner; this is you. You can add and remove users, which gives them limited access to view the dashboard and open support tickets with SiteLock.
  Creating a user for a web designer or any other third-party monitoring your sites can be very useful, so that they can access the Trust Seal for installation or keep up with any possible site vulnerabilities. Anyone with the role of a User will not have access to add/remove any users, domains, or features. They are only allowed to view the dashboard, get the Trust Seal, and open support tickets.

  
   

• Messages - Find messages and urgent alerts from SiteLock concerning your business's security and reputation.

  
   

• Help - This will redirect you to the SiteLock knowledge base.

  
   

• Submit Ticket - This allows you to submit a ticket directly to SiteLock. Use this to ask any questions or report an issue to them.
