Register & Log In
Getting into Cockpit takes about a minute. This page walks you through creating your account and the different ways to sign back in afterwards.
Good to know — Cockpit itself is free. What you pay for is Cardinal, the backend your projects actually run on. Your plan (see the Cardinal pricing) defines the limits you work within: how many projects you can create, how many tenants a multi-tenant project may hold, and how much storage each project gets. On the free tier these are modest; upgrading your tier raises them.
Register​
The first time you arrive you create your account — and with it your own Environment, the private space that holds everything you'll build. You become its sole Environment-Access administrator.
- On the registration page, fill in the form — first name, last name, email, company name, and cluster — and accept the terms; or skip the typing and click Register with Google.
- Click Register.
- We email you an invitation; click the verification link to activate your account, and you're in.
Log in​
Once your account exists, the login page offers three ways back in — pick whichever suits you:
- Email + one-time code (the default) — enter your email, click Request a one-time code, then type the code we send to your inbox.
- Email + password — click Login with password, then enter your username and password.
- Google — click Log in with Google, using the same Google account you registered with.
However you sign in, you land on your Environment's dashboard — empty and ready for your first project.
Choosing an environment​
One email can wear several hats. The same user can be an administrator in:
- multiple Environments — granted directly by the iCure team, and/or
- multiple Projects — granted from Cockpit by an Environment-Access admin.
When your account has access to more than one, Cockpit greets you with a quick prompt to choose which environment to log in to right after you authenticate. The available accounts are grouped by access level, so you first pick the level (Environment Access or Project Access) and then the specific account within it. See Switch Environment for the full flow.
Where to go next​
- Create Your First Project — provision your first project inside your Environment.
- Manage Account — set a password, enable 2FA, and manage your profile.
- Switch Environment — move between the environments and projects you can access.
- Administrators & Access Levels — how Environment Access and Project Access differ.
