Account Setup¶

There are two ways to get started as a Polyguard administrator:

• Self-serve signup — Create an account at console.polyguard.ai and become the owner of a new organization automatically.
• Invited by another admin — Accept an invitation email or QR code to join an existing organization.

Both paths end in the same place: the Polyguard Console, ready for you to install integrations and configure your organization.

Step 1: Download Polyguard Mobile¶

You will need the Polyguard Mobile app to verify your identity during account setup.

For a detailed walkthrough of installing and setting up the app, see Downloading the App.

Step 2: Create or Join Your Organization¶

Path A: Self-Serve Signup¶

1. Visit console.polyguard.ai and click Sign Up.
2. Enter your work email address and follow the prompts.
3. Complete identity verification using Polyguard Mobile — you will scan your government-issued ID and complete a real-time facial recognition check.
4. Once verified, you are automatically the owner of a new organization and land on the Console onboarding page.

Path B: Accept an Admin Invitation¶

1. Open the invitation email from Polyguard and click the link (or scan the QR code with Polyguard Mobile).
2. Follow the prompts to create your account.
3. Complete identity verification using Polyguard Mobile.
4. Once verified, you join the existing organization as an administrator and land on the Console.

Step 3: First Login to the Console¶

After identity verification, you arrive at the Polyguard Console — the web dashboard where you manage your organization.

If this is a new organization, the Console opens to the onboarding page, which guides you through connecting your meeting platforms. This is the next step: Install Integrations.
