<!-- Device Inventory Manager — https://wiki.cyberguard.srl/dim/getting-started/portal/ -->

# Portal Reference

## Signing in

Open the portal and click **Sign in**: you use your Microsoft Entra work account, the same as for Microsoft 365. There is no separate password.

- If your organization is new to Device Inventory Manager, Inside Technologies activates it after registration; until then you see a page that says the tenant is pending activation.
- The first person of your organization becomes the tenant administrator.
- The others are created as inactive the first time they sign in, and wait for an administrator to activate them. See [Users & Permissions](https://wiki.cyberguard.srl/dim/administration/users-and-permissions.md#new-users).

## The layout
