Airlock as a Service setup

Create an account

To get started with Airlock as a Service and use the Airlock Console, you must first create an Airlock account by completing the self-registration flow at https://manage.airlock.cloud/ui/. After you complete sign-up, you become the first SaaS administrator of your organization, which is created during registration. You can then complete your organization details, create tenants (each representing an IAM instance), and invite additional administrators. You can also assign invited administrators to tenants.

Complete the registration as follows:

  1. Go to https://manage.airlock.cloud/ui/.

  2. Click sign up here below the login fields.

  3. Enter the required information in the registration form.
    ▶ You will receive an email with a one-time password (OTP).

  4. In the Email verification dialog, enter the OTP in the Security code field to verify your email address.

  5. Enable Airlock 2FA within the next two weeks. Some Airlock Console functionality requires it as a second factor.

  6. Register an mTAN number as a required backup authentication method.

After you register successfully, you can access the Airlock Console. Your organization is created automatically and represents your company.

Recommendation

If you lose access to your Airlock 2FA device, you may be unable to sign in to the Airlock Console and could lose administrative access to your organization. Without another administrator who can manage administrators, you may not be able to recover access quickly. To reduce the likelihood of such an administrator lockout, take one or both of the following actions:

  • Add a second Airlock 2FA device under:
    <Your Name> >> My Account >> Manage 2FA devices

  • Invite at least one additional administrator with either the SaaS Administrator role or the AMC – Manage administrator role so that this administrator has permission to remove and re-invite you if you lose access to your 2FA device.
