# Creating an organisation

> Self-service signup, what gets created with a new organisation, and the first things to do.

Where your deployment allows it, you can create an organisation yourself.

## Signing up

Enter your organisation's name, your name, your work email and a password. That creates the whole
organisation and signs you in as its first administrator.

<Note>
  Some deployments provision organisations by hand instead. If self-service signup is switched off,
  the sign-up page will not be offered and your administrator creates the account for you.
</Note>

## What you get

A new organisation is not empty. It arrives with:

| Created                    | Detail                                                                |
| -------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **12 roles**               | From System Administrator to Requester. See [roles](/setup/roles)     |
| **State models**           | Work order, request, asset and vendor lifecycles, published and ready |
| **Notification templates** | For SLA, contract expiry, certification expiry and comments           |
| **A first site**           | Which you should rename to your actual plant                          |
| **You**                    | As the first administrator, holding `SYS_ADMIN`                       |

So the product works from the first sign-in. Everything above is then yours to change.

## First things to do

<Steps>
  <Step title="Rename the site">
    Under [sites and organisation](/setup/sites). The default site is a placeholder.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Build the location tree">
    Buildings, floors, lines, rooms. Assets need somewhere to live.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Invite people">
    Add users and give them roles under [people and access](/setup/access).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure before loading">
    Asset types, categories, criticality and meter types before you load assets — it is much easier
    than reclassifying afterwards. See [asset settings](/config/assets).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Load your assets">
    See [the asset register](/assets/register).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Build your first plan">
    See [the plan builder](/maintenance/plan-builder).
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Multiple companies and sites

One organisation can hold several companies, business units, cost centres and departments, and as
many sites as you need. You do not need a second organisation for a second plant — and you should
not create one, because reporting across them would then be impossible.

See [sites and organisation](/setup/sites).
