# Quick Start Get started with Panther [by requesting a demo!](https://panther.com/product/request-a-demo/) ## Overview Welcome to Panther! This guide will walk you through your initial login to the Panther Console, as well as how to invite additional users. Once you've completed these steps, head to the [Onboarding Guide](/quick-start/onboarding-guide.md) for full onboarding instructions. ### Getting started with key Panther features {% embed url="" %} ### Using Panther You can manage your account and workflows in the Panther Console or using Panther Developer Workflows. #### Panther Console The Panther Console is Panther's web interface, where users can interact with their Panther instance. You can navigate the Panther Console via the left-hand navigation panel or press **⌘ (command) + K** at any time to search and jump straight to relevant documentation. For a preview of the Panther Console, check out the [Overview video](#overview-video) above. #### Panther Developer Workflows Panther Developer Workflows are non-Console workflows you can use to interact with your Panther account, including [CI/CD](/panther-developer-workflows/detections-repo/ci-cd/deployment-workflows/circle-ci.md), [API](/panther-developer-workflows/api.md), [Terraform](/panther-developer-workflows/terraform.md), [pantherlog](/panther-developer-workflows/pantherlog.md) and the [Panther Analysis Tool (PAT)](/panther-developer-workflows/detections-repo/pat.md#using-the-panther-analysis-tool). ### Glossary Panther's [Glossary](/resources/help/glossary.md) introduces common cloud-native, security, and Panther-specific terminology. Refer to the Glossary for extra context and clarity on terms found throughout this documentation. ## Getting started in Panther ### Initial Panther login After your Panther instance has been provisioned, you can access your Panther Console. Once your account has been provisioned, you will receive an invitation email from `no-reply@verificationemail.com` with the subject line **Welcome to Panther!** that contains your temporary Panther Console login credentials. If you don't see this email, be sure to check your spam folder or [reach out to your Panther Support team](/resources/help.md#contact-panther-support). After you have logged in to the Console with these provided credentials, you will need to update your password and set up multi-factor authentication. Panther requires a strong password: * Password must contain at least 12 characters * Password must contain at least 1 uppercase character * Password must contain at least 1 lowercase character * Password must contain at least 1 symbol * Password must contain at least 1 number

### Inviting users After you have successfully logged in, you can invite more users to the platform by navigating to **Settings** > **Users**.
The Settings gear icon is in the upper right corner. The dropdown menu is open and "Users" is highlighted.
We strongly recommend having at least two users with [Admin role](/system-configuration/rbac.md) set up. This will help your organization regain access to the Panther Console if needed. You can also [set up a Single Sign-On (SSO) provider](/system-configuration/saml.md), and optionally [enforce its use](/system-configuration/saml.md#how-to-enforce-sso). It is also recommended to routinely audit the users who have access to your Panther Console. ## Next step: Start using Panther Once you've logged in to the Panther Console, it's time to onboard data sources, set up detections, and configure alert destinations. Learn how to complete these tasks in the [Onboarding Guide](/quick-start/onboarding-guide.md). --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
