Step 3: Complete Registration

Click Sign Up to create your account. You'll be logged in and redirected to the dashboard.

First-Time Setup

After creating your account, you'll need to set up your workspace:

Join or Create an Organization

When you first log in, you have two options:

1. Accept an invitation — If a colleague has already invited you, you'll see pending invitations in your account. Accept one to join their organization.

2. Create a new organization — Start fresh with your own organization that you can configure and invite others to.

Creating Your First Organization

1. Navigate to Settings → Organizations
2. Click Create Organization
3. Enter an organization name (e.g., "Acme Corp" or "My Startup")
4. Click Create

Your organization is now ready. You'll automatically become the Owner, giving you full administrative access.

Creating Your First Project

Every organization needs at least one project to hold policies:

1. Navigate to Settings → Projects
2. Click Create Project
3. Enter a project name (e.g., "Production", "Development", or "API Gateway")
4. Click Create

Your project will be created with a unique Decision Node URL. You'll use this later to connect your decision node.

Inviting Team Members

Once your organization is set up, invite colleagues to collaborate:

1. Go to Settings → Organizations
2. Select your organization
3. Click Invite Member
4. Enter their email address
5. Click Send Invitation

The invited user will receive an email with instructions to join. If they don't have a Denied account, they'll need to create one first.

Member Roles

Managing Invitations

Accepting an Invitation

If you've been invited to an organization:

1. Go to Settings → Organizations
2. Look for the Pending Invitations section
3. Click Accept next to the invitation

You'll immediately gain access to the organization and its projects.

Declining an Invitation

If you don't want to join an organization:

1. Go to Settings → Organizations
2. Find the invitation in Pending Invitations
3. Click Decline

The organization admin will be notified that you declined.

Account Settings

Troubleshooting

Can't find the invitation email?

• Check your spam or junk folder
• Ask the person who invited you to resend the invitation
• Make sure they used the correct email address

Getting "email already registered" error?

You already have an account with that email. Use the Sign In page instead and reset your password if needed.
