# Set up your SSO admin account

## Initial SSO Login and Admin Setup

The following steps apply to all accounts, whether new or existing, when setting up SSO for the first time.

1. **Log in with your company email**

Go to [https://hxdr.app/](https://hxdr.app/), click **Log in**, enter your company email address and click **Continue**.

2. **Select SSO**

If your email address has more than one Hexagon account, the **Select your account** page opens. Choose **SSO**.

3. **Access the user menu**

Once logged in, click on the icon with your initials located on the lower left-hand side to access the user menu.

4. **Identify your SSO user**

In the "User" menu, you will see two users: the one created without SSO and one with SSO login. The user with the role "Employee" and title "Not Available" is the SSO user.

5. **Make your SSO user an admin**

To manage the account and users, you need to make your SSO user an admin:
  - Log out and log in again using your non-SSO user credentials.
  - Go to the user menu and change the role of your SSO user to "Admin".

6. **Transfer your projects** (skip if none)

If your non-SSO user owns any projects, transfer ownership and memberships to your SSO user before continuing. Follow the [Moving project ownership to SSO user](/v1/docs/hexagon-geocloud-moving-project-ownership-to-sso-user) guide for each project.

Skip this step if your non-SSO user does not own any projects.
7. **Remove your legacy account**

Log in again with your SSO user. Once logged in, clicking on the icon with your initials will now show the full Admin menu, including company, users, and subscription information.
  - Go to the user menu and delete your non-SSO user (the one with a title).

## **Adding new users**

- **New accounts**

Once SSO is configured, colleagues join by logging in to [hxdr.app](https://hxdr.app/) with their company credentials — **no invitation email is needed**. Their account is created automatically on first login and appears in the Users menu for the admin to assign a role.
- **Existing accounts (with prior non-SSO users)**

For an existing account where users were already invited and need to migrate to SSO, follow the [Roll out SSO to your team](/v1/docs/hexagon-geocloud-roll-out-sso-to-your-team) guide for the full migration sequence.

## **Activate subscription (new accounts only)**

To start using Hexagon GeoCloud, a subscription must be activated. Please follow the steps of [Activating your subscription](/v1/docs/hexagon-geocloud-activating-your-subscription) for subscription activation.
