Getting started

Signing in

The sign-in page offers whatever your installation has set up: a button for each identity provider (for example your company’s single sign-on, Google or GitHub), and, where it is enabled, an email and password form with links to sign up and to reset a forgotten password. A provider’s button takes you to that provider; you never enter its password here.

Signing up with an email address sends you a link. You choose your password on the page that link opens, which also confirms the address.

Your first employer

Everything you work on belongs to an employer: its jobs, feeds, locations, tags and people. You get access to one in either of two ways:

• Create one with New employer. You become its owner, and it starts with its headquarters and a feed called all.
• Accept an invitation. Someone who owns an employer invites you by your email address; the invitation appears under Invitations in the top bar, naming the role you are offered. Accept takes you straight to that employer’s dashboard; Decline only removes the invitation.

Finding your way around

• The sidebar is about the employer you are working on. It starts with the employer switcher: if you belong to several employers, choose the one to work on there. Below it are Dashboard, Jobs, Feeds, People, API tokens (owners only), Profile, Locations, Tags and Activity, all covering that employer.
• The top bar holds what is not about one employer: Employers, Invitations with the number still waiting, and your user menu with My activity, Settings, Welcome (the short introduction you saw after your first sign-in), this manual and signing out.

Roles

Each person has a role per employer:

Every member sees who else belongs to the employer. An employer always keeps at least one active owner.
