When you first log in to the QuantAQ Cloud, you will be logged in to your private Sandbox Organization, which is only accessible to you. To share access to QuantAQ Devices with others, you must first create a new Organization and Network.

Create an Organization

To create a new Organization, click "Create a new organization" in the Organization switcher in the upper left-hand of the page.

On the first page of the three-step process, you will enter pertinent information about your Organization:

  • Organization Name. This is the name of your Organization and cannot be changed. This should be concise and descriptive (e.g., University of X, Jones Group, etc, Corporation X, etc).

  • Description. This is a short description that will show up to members of the Organization. This can be changed in the Organization's settings later on.

  • Logo. Optionally, you can add a logo for your Organization.

  • Billing Info. You should add a billing contact name and email. This is who will be notified if and when Devices that belong to this Organization are up for renewal.

On the second page, you can optionally invite other Organization administrators. Administrators have full power to invite and remove members, add or remove Devices, and update settings and billing information. Only invite those that should have these permissions at this stage! You do not need to add additional administrators and can also add them later on from the Organization Members page.

On the third page, you can select any Devices that are currently registered to your Sandbox Organization to transfer them to your new Organization. This is optional at this stage and can be completed later as well.

Once you've filled in the information on the first three pages, click "Create Organization".

Create a Network

Now that you're created your new Organization, it is time to create a new Network within that Organization so that you can invite non-admin members. Navigate to the "Networks" page by clicking "Networks" in the navigation bar on the left-hand side of your screen. Click "Create a Network". At this point, there is a three-step process to create your new Network.

On the first page, enter your Network Name and Description. On the second page, select any Devices that belong to your Organization to add to this new Network. Don't worry if they're not available, you can also add them later on. Last, you can invite new Network Operators, Researchers, or Viewers to join your new Network. For more information on Network permissions, please see our article on how to manage member permissions for a Network.

At this point, you can click "Create Network" and you will be good to go!
