Access the Admin UI
In this section, you will learn how to access the Glean Administrator User Interface (UI), known as Workspace Settings, and begin set up for your organization.
About the Glean Admin UI
The Glean Admin UI (app.glean.com/admin), known as Workspace Settings, is where you will manage the Glean workspace for your organization, including setting up Single Sign-On (SSO), configuring data sources, and syncing people data.
Sign In to Workspace Settings
To access the Workspace Settings for your tenant, navigate to https://app.glean.com/admin in your web browser. If you are not already logged in, you will be prompted to do so. Enter your company email address to log in.
Because we have not configured Single Sign-On (SSO) yet, you will be prompted to check your email for a link to log in. This is called a Magic Link. Click the Magic Link in your inbox to log in.
Add Additional Administrators
When you sign in for the first time, you will be prompted to add additional administrators before proceeding.
There are two types of administrator roles, Admin and Setup Admin:
- The Admin role (also known as the Full Admin role) has full read/write privileges across all Workspace Settings. This role can add/remove other administrators, manage user permissions, configure data sources, start crawls, and customize the Glean workspace for the organization.
- The Setup Admin role has restricted permissions and can only configure data sources and start crawls. This is the perfect role to give to the administrators of any cloud applications that you wish to connect to Glean.
To proceed, enter the emails of any additional administrators that you wish to add, or simply skip to the next step.
Warning
Only select individuals within your organization should be granted provided with the Admin role.
