User Creation and Onboarding

Get started with Orkestia by creating your account and setting up your organization.

Get started with Orkestia by creating your account and setting up your organization. This guide walks you through account creation, onboarding, and joining teams via invitations.

What is an Orkestia Account?

An Orkestia account gives you access to run workflows, deploy and manage applications, connect cloud providers, and collaborate with your team. Your account is secured with AWS Cognito and supports both email/password and social authentication.

This section is about organization members — your team, who sign in via AWS Cognito to operate the platform. It is not about end-users, the people who sign into an app you build via "Sign in with Orkestia". For the difference, see Organizations & identity; to give your own app users, see App Enablement.
