# Getting Started

New to Maverics? Start here. This page walks you through getting access to the Console and setting up your organization -- the foundation for everything else you'll do with Maverics.

## Step 1: Get Access to the Console

The [Maverics Console](https://maverics.strata.io) is the management hub for your Maverics deployments. To get started:

1. **Request access** -- Contact your Strata account team or visit [Strata support](https://strataidentity.my.site.com/support/s/) to request a Console account for your organization
2. **Accept your invitation** -- You'll receive an email invitation to join your organization
3. **Log in** -- Sign in to the Console at [maverics.strata.io](https://maverics.strata.io)

## Step 2: Set Up Your Organization

Once you're logged in, orient yourself with the Console:

* **Organization settings** -- Review your organization name and member list under **Settings**
* **Invite team members** -- Add colleagues who will help manage deployments and configurations
* **Review audit logging** -- Every action in the Console is captured in the [audit log](/reference/console/audit-logs) for compliance and troubleshooting

## Step 3: Explore the Console

With your organization set up, take a moment to explore the Console:

* **Deployments** -- View and manage your Orchestrator deployments, each pairing a configuration with one or more running nodes
* **Configuration** -- Browse the visual configuration editor where you define apps, routes, connectors, and policies
* **Audit logs** -- Review a complete record of every action taken in your organization for compliance and troubleshooting
