Getting started
Onboarding for a new Organization administrator: your first sign-in, orientation, and adding your first Service.
This guide takes a new Organization administrator from “my account was just created” to “I have a Service Context running and I know my way around”.

Section titled “1. Sign in for the first time”You’ve received an invitation email to the Admin Dashboard.

Open the invitation
Click the link in the invitation email. It takes you to the Admin Dashboard.

Set credentials
- If your Organization has SAML authentication configured, you sign in through your identity provider (no local password).
- If not, set a local password.

Land on the Services overview
You arrive at the Organization’s Services overview — the list of Service Contexts your Organization runs.
2. Orient yourself
Section titled “2. Orient yourself”Before adding anything, take a minute with the left navigation. See Organization overview for the full list of sections.
