First Steps

Now that you’re signed in to your admin console, let’s make the environment yours. This guide covers the first things most administrators do: uploading your logo, updating your organization name, and inviting the rest of your team.

Customize your logo

Your organization starts with a default BlokSec logo. Replacing it with your own logo personalizes the experience for your users — they’ll see it in the admin console, in authentication prompts, and in notification emails.

1. From the sidebar, click Dashboard
2. Click the Edit button (pencil icon) on your organization card
3. In the Branding section, click on the logo to upload a replacement
4. Select an image file (PNG, JPEG, SVG, or WebP — max 2 MB)
5. Click Update Client to save

Tip

Square images work best. The logo is displayed at small sizes in the sidebar and on mobile, so make sure it’s recognizable even at 32x32 pixels.

Update your organization name

If the organization name was set during initial setup and doesn’t match your preferred name, you can change it:

1. Open the Edit dialog for your organization (same as above)
2. Update the Client Name field
3. Click Update Client

The name appears in the sidebar, in emails to your users, and on the sign-in page.

Invite other administrators

You’ll probably want more than one person managing your BlokSec environment. To add another administrator:

1. Navigate to the Users tab on your organization dashboard
2. Click Create User
3. Fill in their name and email address
4. Under Roles, select Admin
5. Make sure Send welcome email is checked
6. Click Create

The new admin will receive the same welcome email you did, with a link to set up their authenticator app and sign in to the admin console.

Note

Admins have full access to manage applications, users, and settings for your organization. Only grant admin access to people who need to configure BlokSec.

Invite regular users

Adding regular users follows the same process, but select the User role instead of Admin. Users can authenticate with BlokSec but can’t access the admin console.

For larger deployments, you’ll typically add users through application-level provisioning (like Microsoft 365’s automatic user sync) rather than creating them one by one. See the integration guides for details.

Explore the admin console

Take a few minutes to look around:

• Applications tab — Shows the BlokSec Admin Portal app that was created with your organization. You’ll add more applications here soon.
• Users tab — Lists everyone with a BlokSec account. You can view their details, see their authentication activity, and manage their accounts.
• Request Log — Shows every authentication request, including who signed in, when, and which application they used. Useful for monitoring and troubleshooting.

Next steps

Your environment is set up and your team has access. The next step is to connect the applications your users sign in to every day. Head to Adding Applications to get started.
