  1. Navigate to the Environment's Default Login Page 
    • This is the domain URL followed by /webapps/login/?action=default_login
  2. Log in using Default Authentication Credentials
Expected Behavior:
Would be logged in as normal

Access Denied
Either you are not logged in or you do not have the appropriate privileges to perform this action
