# Access the Managed Cloud PaaS portals

With Sitecore Managed Cloud, you'll receive everything you need to access your environment as soon as Sitecore finishes provisioning it. Use this documentation to learn how to use the Azure portal and log in to your content management portal.

<details>
<summary><h2>Use the Azure portal</h2></summary>

When you request a Managed Cloud environment, you must use the credentials for your Microsoft Live account to log in to the Azure portal.

To log in to the Azure portal:

- Go to the Azure portal and enter the Microsoft Live account credentials you used to request a Managed Cloud environment.

Through the Azure portal, you can:

- Get the URL that you need to log in to Sitecore and access your Sitecore content management site, for example, *http://gsdk-cm.azurewebsites.net/*
- Reset your deployment credentials.
- Restart your website or application.
- Access logs.

> [!note]
> You cannot delete your application or website through the Azure portal. To request this, contact [Sitecore Support](https://kb.sitecore.net/articles/654910).

<summary><h2>Log in to your content management portal</h2></summary>

The Azure portal contains the URL for your content management site. You use this URL to log in to the Sitecore portal.

To log in to your content management portal:

1. Log in to the [Azure portal](https://portal.azure.com/) using your Microsoft Live account credentials.
2. Click **Resource Groups**, then select from the list the group containing the Sitecore application you want to access.
3. In the **Device** list, select the device name similar to `"{appname}-cm"`, where `"cm"` refers to the content management instance. Ensure the device type is **App Service**.
4. In the **App Service** overview, go to the **URL** column and locate the content management website URL. The URL should look similar to *http://gsdk-cm.azurewebsites.net/*
5. To verify that the site loads as expected, enter the URL of your content management website in another browser window.
6. To open the Sitecore login page, add */sitecore/login* to the end of the URL. The URL should look similar to *https://gsdk-cm.azurewebsites.net/sitecore/login*.
7. Enter your Sitecore credentials, and click **Log in**.
