Task 1: Get access to your tenant
This task guides you through the process of accessing your Advanced Identity Cloud tenant, either as the initial super administrator for your organization or as an administrator invited by a super administrator.
Register as the first super administrator
After your organization purchases Advanced Identity Cloud and requests a tenant, Ping Identity prepares the tenant for initial use. It then sends a registration email to the person designated as the super administrator in your organization. You’ll receive a separate email for each tenant environment.
To register as the first super administrator:
-
In the registration email, click the Complete Registration link.
-
On the Complete Registration page, enter your first name, last name, and a password.
-
Click Next.
-
Select your region of residence and accept the privacy policy.
-
Click Complete Registration.
-
Click Sign in.
-
Click Set Up and follow the instructions to register an MFA method to protect your account.
When setting up MFA, store your recovery codes in a safe place. -
Authenticate with your chosen MFA method.
After successful authentication, you’re signed on to the Advanced Identity Cloud admin console as a super administrator.
| If you haven’t received a registration email, contact your Ping Identity representative. |
Invite other administrators
Only super administrators can invite other administrators.
Choose one of the following:
-
To give administrator access to a group of administrators in another identity provider (IdP), set up federated access. Learn more in Configure federated access for tenant administrators.
