Organization setup

When signing in for the first time, if you haven't accessed through an invitation received in your email inbox (In that case the invitation will be automatically accepted), you will not belong to any organization, and you will be redirected to the organization setup page. On this page, you will find different sections that will allow you to configure your default organization:

  1. "Organization invitations": From this section you can see, accept or decline your received invitations to existing organizations.

    More information in the Invite members to an organization section.

  2. "Suggested organizations": Here you will find a list of suggested organizations to which you can submit access requests. Once you've requested access to an organization, organization owners will receive a notification that they must accept or decline. If your access request has been accepted, the owner will be prompted to assign you an access role to the organization.

    You can find more information below, in the Request access to an organization section
