  • Log in to Security Administration
  • Create your account
  • Create your organization
  • Add users
  • Assign roles
  1. Log in to Security Administration: the URL for Security Administration is based off the server location specified in the Transforms.xml file completed as an installation prerequisite. See Configuring Transforms.xml and creating/installing Security Administration for detailed information.
