Administrator's Guide¶
This guide is for the person who sets up Polyguard for your organization — whether you are creating a brand-new account or joining an existing team as an administrator.
Follow the steps below in order. Each one builds on the previous, and together they will have your organization ready to run secure meetings in under an hour.
Prerequisites¶
Before you begin, make sure you have:
- A smartphone (iPhone or Android) to install Polyguard Mobile
- A government-issued photo ID (passport, driver's license, or national ID card)
- Microsoft 365 Global Admin access — if you plan to install the Teams & Outlook integration
- Zoom admin access — if you plan to install the Zoom integration
You don't need both platforms
Install only the meeting platforms your organization uses. You can always add the other one later.
Setup Steps¶
| Step | Page | What You'll Do |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Account Setup | Create your Polyguard account or accept an admin invitation, verify your identity, and log in to the Console |
| 2 | Install Integrations | Connect Polyguard to Microsoft Teams & Outlook and/or Zoom — the first thing the Console onboarding page walks you through |
| 3 | Organization Settings | Set your organization's legal name, address, and logo |
| 4 | Inviting Users | Invite organizers and additional administrators to your organization |
