First Login & Setup

Getting Started Required

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have the following:

• nara account — You will either create an account during onboarding or receive a login from your organization administrator.
• Organization invitation — An existing admin must invite you to the organization. Check your email for the invitation link.
• Modern browser — nara supports the latest versions of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. JavaScript must be enabled.

Tip

If you have not received an invitation, contact your organization administrator. Only users with the Admin role can send invitations from Organization Settings.

Signing In for the First Time

1. Open the invitation link

   Click the link in your invitation email. This takes you to the nara login page with your organization pre-selected.

2. Sign in

   Sign in using your email and password, or use a supported social login provider (Google, Microsoft, etc.) if your organization has enabled it. If you do not have an account yet, follow the on-screen prompts to create one.

3. Accept the organization invitation

   After authentication, you will be prompted to accept the invitation to join the organization. Confirm to proceed.

4. Complete your profile

   Fill in your display name and any optional profile fields. This information is visible to other organization members and appears in audit logs.

5. Land on the dashboard

   Once setup is complete, you are redirected to the main Dashboard where you can see an overview of your organization’s activity.

Caution

If you see an “Access Denied” message after signing in, your invitation may have expired or your account may not yet be linked to an organization. Contact your admin to resend the invitation.

Dashboard Walkthrough

After logging in, you land on the nara Dashboard. Here is what you will find.

Main Interface

The dashboard gives you a high-level view of your organization’s activity, including recent agent conversations, tool execution summaries, and system status indicators. Use it as your starting point each day to spot issues and track trends.

Sidebar Navigation

The left sidebar is your primary navigation. It is organized into the following sections:

Data & Knowledge

| Section | Description | | ------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | Devices | View connected devices and Edge Connector instances. | | Memory | Define schemas, explore objects, and navigate the knowledge graph. | | Tickets | Track support tickets, review sessions, and manage escalations. |

Settings

Key UI Elements

• Organization switcher — If you belong to multiple organizations, use the switcher in the top-left corner to move between them.
• User menu — Access your profile settings, sign out, or switch accounts from the avatar dropdown in the top-right corner.
• Notifications — System alerts and important events appear as banners or badge counts on relevant sidebar items.
