Setup Users and Security

Navigate to Global > Settings > Users, where you can Add, Edit, and Delete user accounts.
You can review your user account details in the User Avatar > Profile section, where you can add additional Passwords and Security options from the authentication portal Zitadel.

Configure Global Settings

Global Settings apply to all companies in your portal and auto-apply to any new ones created.

Review Global Settings: Before adding companies to the portal, navigate to Global > Settings > Global Settings to review the available options and make any desired changes.

Reviewing each one is important to become familiar with what's available and set by default.
