Account Setup

Creating Your Account

2. Enter your email address and choose a password
3. Verify your email address
4. You'll be redirected to the Welcome page

TIP

New accounts start on the Free tier with 100 governed actions per month. You can upgrade at any time from Settings.

Welcome Flow

After signing up, the Welcome page walks you through initial setup:

1. Organization Name — Set your tenant name
2. First Agent — Register your first AI agent
3. API Key — Copy your API key for integration
4. Quick Tour — Optional walkthrough of the console

Understanding Your Tenant

When you create an account, TheWARDN creates a tenant for your organization. Everything is scoped to your tenant:

• Agents
• Policies
• Audit records
• Escrow items
• Tier mappings
• Compliance packs

API Key Management

Your API key authenticates all API requests:

• Found in Settings > API Configuration
• Format: wdn_live_ followed by a unique string
• Scoped to your tenant — all agents share one key
• Can be regenerated (invalidates the old key)

WARNING

Keep your API key secret. Never commit it to version control or expose it in client-side code. Use environment variables or secrets managers.

Team Members

On Business tier and above, you can invite team members:

1. Go to Settings > Team
2. Click Invite Member
3. Enter their email address
4. Select their role:
   • ARCHITECT — Full access, can configure policies and manage agents
   • OPERATOR — Can view dashboards and manage escrow, cannot modify policies
   • VIEWER — Read-only access to dashboards and audit trail
