Before you start
| Who can do this | Owners and administrators |
|---|---|
| Time | About 1 to 2 hours |
| You need | An organisation and an owner or administrator account |
| Where | The Administration area in the sidebar |
Use a desktop or laptop. Setup pages are easier with the full sidebar visible.
1. Configure the organisation
Open Administration → Organisation Settings. Set organisation-wide choices before you invite people — work management mode is hard to change later.
2. Set up people and access
Do these in order. A user cannot be assigned to a site or group that does not exist yet.
Before you continue
Check these before you start the inspection loop:
- Organisation name, formats, and time zone look right on Organisation settings → General.
- Every real location where work happens exists as a site.
- An invited user (not only the person who set things up) can sign in with the role and site access you expect.
- If you use SSO, that person can sign in through your identity provider.
