System Administrator Documentation

Note

This documentation is for the new OMERO 5 server. If you are looking to upgrade to 5.x from OMERO 4.x, this is the right documentation to refer to but if you want to continue using OMERO 4, you can find all the documentation for those releases on our previous versions page.

OMERO 4.4.x will continue to be supported during 2014 but a new release will only be made if a major bug fix is necessary.
