The content of Tethys Portal can and should be customized or re-branded to reflect your organization. To access these settings, login to Tethys Portal using an administrator account and navigate to the Site Admin page. Then select the Site Settings link under the TETHYS PORTAL heading. Site-wide settings can be changed using the General Settings link and the content on the home page can be modified by using the Home Page link.

Bypass the Home Page
Tethys Portal can also be configured to bypass the home page. When this setting is applied, the root url will always redirect to the apps library page. This setting is modified in the portal_config.yml
file. Simply set the BYPASS_TETHYS_HOME_PAGE
setting to True
:
TETHYS_PORTAL_CONFIG:
BYPASS_TETHYS_HOME_PAGE: True
Enable Open Signup
You may also wish to enable open signup on your Tethys Portal. To do so, you must modify the ENABLE_OPEN_SIGNUP
setting in the portal_config.yml
file:
TETHYS_PORTAL_CONFIG:
ENABLE_OPEN_SIGNUP: True
Warning
Enabling open signup will allow anyone to sign up for an account and could expose your site to exploitation by nefarious actors. Only enable this option if you plan to actively moderate users on your Tethys Portal.
