# Create or join an account

## Create an Account

{/* SCREENSHOT-TODO: Capture the current CLOUDflex Studio sign-up screen with blank fields. */}

1. Open [CLOUDflex Studio](https://cloudflex.studio).
2. On the sign-in page, select **Sign up**.
3. Enter your full name, email address, and password.
4. Select **Sign Up**.

If you are creating a new organization, Studio takes you through organization setup. If an administrator invited you, use the invitation link so the account is connected to the intended organization.

## Accept an Invitation

{/* SCREENSHOT-TODO: Capture the invitation acceptance screen using a non-sensitive test invitation. */}

1. Open the invitation sent to your email address.
2. Sign in or create an account with that address.
3. Accept the invitation.
4. Confirm the expected organization appears in the organization switcher.

If you can sign in but see no environments or applications, ask an administrator to assign the required environment permission. Do not share another operator's login.

Use **Forgot password** on the sign-in page to request a reset when needed.
