<p>Before you can use the pgAdmin client to manage the objects that reside on your
Postgres server, you must define a connection to the server. You can
(optionally) use the <em>Server Group</em> dialog to create server groups to organize
the server connections within the tree control for easier management. To open
the <em>Server Group</em> dialog, right-click on the <em>Servers</em> node of the tree
control, and select <em>Server Group</em> from the <em>Create</em> menu.</p>

</ul>
</div>
<p>Use the fields on the <em>Server</em> dialog to define the connection properties for
each new server that you wish to manage with pgAdmin. To open the <em>Server</em>
dialog, right-click on the <em>Servers</em> node of the tree control, and select
<em>Server</em> from the <em>Register</em> menu.</p>

<p>Alternatively you can use the <em>Cloud Deployment</em> wizard to deploy a new
PostgreSQL instance in the cloud, and connect to it.</p>

<p>A master password is required to secure and later unlock saved server passwords.
It is set by the user and can be disabled using config.</p>

<p>After defining a server connection, right-click on the server name, and select
<em>Connect to server</em> to authenticate with the server, and start using pgAdmin to
manage objects that reside on the server.</p>

<p>Server definitions (and their groups) can be exported to a JSON file and
re-imported to the same or a different system to enable easy pre-configuration
of pgAdmin.</p>
