# Initial setup

> Complete the setup wizard and create your first administrator account

When you first access the Mistrive console, the setup wizard guides you through creating the initial administrator account. This account has full access to manage users, organizations, and all platform resources.

## Access the console

Open your browser and navigate to the console URL provided by your administrator:

```
https://console.example.com
```

If this is a fresh installation, you'll be redirected to the setup wizard automatically.
