# Admin Console (temporarily in getting started)

## Overview

Herd Security is managed through a cloud-based admin console that is provided to each individual organization. This is the hub of creating content, building workflows, setting up integrations, sending trainings & simulations, and tracking the results. To ensure that every piece of content sent is actively changing security behavior across your users.

## Console Access & Credentials

***

Every customer will gain initial access to the Herd console directly from a member of the Herd Security team. You have two options for your credentials, username & password or Okta Single-Sign-On. In either case you'll be provided an organization ID to begin the login process.

### Organization ID

Your OrgID is a unique identifier for your organization. Use this anytime you log in to Herd. You'll receive this from your customer support manager during the onboarding process. From your login URL, you'll be directed to the following screen.

\**Note that Organization ID's are case sensitive.*
