Accounts

To create and run projects in Epicenter, you need an Epicenter account.

An account is uniquely identified by the account short name.

In the Epicenter UI, accounts are represented by organizations.

Account short name

The account creator must set the account's unique organization ID, also know as the account short name. The account short name becomes part of your organization's Epicenter URL.

Your organization's URL has the following format: forio.com/epicenter/{account-short-name}.

Note

To find your account short name in the Epicenter UI, go to the organization's settings page and look for Organization ID.

Account types

There are two types of accounts in Epicenter:

• Team account - a licensed account created for an organization. The account admins create and/or support projects. Projects created in a team account can have authenticated users. Each admin on the team also gets a personal account.
• Personal account - a free account to experiment and learn to create Epicenter projects. These projects can be private or public, but not authenticated. A personal account can be created by an admin.
