Registration and Setting up an Account

Prerequisites

No. 1 Web browser

Registration, first sign-in, and account activation all take place at https://tenant-manager.code-de.org, so have a web browser available throughout the procedure.

No. 2 Email address and mailbox access

Register with a valid email address that you can access. Account confirmation and verification messages are sent to this mailbox, and the dashboard opens after you follow the verification link.

No. 3 Authenticator application

Two-factor authentication is configured during the first sign-in. Choose either a mobile application, as described in Two-Factor Authentication on the CODE-DE-Lab Site Using a Mobile Application, or KeePassXC by following Two-Factor Authentication to CODE-DE-Lab site using KeePassXC on desktop. Install the selected application before registering so that it is ready when the QR code appears.

Create an account

Go to the https://tenant-manager.code-de.org site and select Register.

Login page with the Register link

The account registration form appears:

Account registration form

Complete all required fields, which are marked with an asterisk (*). Accept the mandatory terms and conditions, then select Create account.

Marketing consents are optional and can be changed at any time.

After the account is created, a confirmation appears:

Successful account registration message

You should also receive an account confirmation email shortly:

The message contains links that allow you to create an organization or join an existing organization if you have an invitation.

Sign in to your account

Select Log in. When signing in for the first time, enter your credentials in the sign-in window:

Account sign-in window

After you sign in, the MOBILE AUTHENTICATOR SETUP window appears:

Mobile Authenticator Setup form

Open one of the mobile authenticator apps described in the prerequisites and scan the QR code. Alternatively, add the account to KeePassXC. The resulting entry generates the one-time codes needed for future sign-ins.

Important

Record the device name. Enter a Device Name during the initial authenticator setup and record it exactly as entered, including capitalization and spaces. You will need the same device name later when resetting or changing your password, and it may also be required for similar account-security procedures.

Protect the QR code. The QR code in the image above is partially obscured for security reasons. It contains the email address used to sign in and the secret used to generate TOTP codes. Do not share the QR code or save an unobscured copy. Applications capable of reading QR codes can extract the embedded data.

Activate your account

After you submit the authenticator setup form, the site informs you that a verification message has been sent to your email address:

Notice that an email verification message was sent

The verification email typically looks like this:

Email containing the account verification link

Select the verification link in the email. The dashboard then opens. Use the tabs below to view its upper and lower sections:

Upper section of the account dashboard

A personal account initially displays only a limited set of dashboard options, as shown above.

Upgrade the personal plan

After you create or join an organization, the dashboard displays additional menus:

Dashboard with the menus available to an organization member

To upgrade the personal plan, create an organization or join an existing one if you have an invitation. Continue with the appropriate organization workflow below.

What to do next

Create an organization or join one with an invitation by following Adding and editing an organization. Organization administrators can then use Invite a new user to your organization to add other members.

After organization membership is active, follow Accounts and Projects Management on CODE-DE-Lab to review projects and billing assignments. If the organization still needs a service or resource quota, submit Submitting Resource Applications on CODE-DE-Lab.
