Administrators · First steps
Activate your organization with the activation code
When your provider creates your organization, it waits for activation. The first administrator activates it with a single-use code, sets a password and creates the administrator passkey straight away.
What do I get from my provider?
- Your organization's address (for example
https://example.<provider domain>). - An activation link, or a code starting with
agact_. The code lasts 72 hours, works once, and a new code replaces the previous one.
For security, your provider sends the code through a channel separate from the link, unless the platform emails it.
How do I activate?
- Open the activation link. The «Activate the organization» page shows that the activation link was received. Without a link, type the «Activation code».
- Fill in «Email» and the «New password for the administrator» (15 to 1024 characters) and «Repeat the password».
- In «Passkey name», name the device (by default «Administrator passkey»).
- Choose «Activate and create passkey». Confirm the passkey creation and then the sign-in with it.
- The page shows «The organization is active. You are signed in with your passkey.»
The password stays only as a fallback: administration always requires the passkey.
What if the passkey step fails?
The organization stays «Activation in progress». Sign in on the normal page with the email and password you chose; the page explains «Activation is not finished.» Choose «Continue activation» and create the passkey. The code is no longer needed.
