## Get Invited by the Admin

To join Crystal as a Member, you need to be [**invited by the Admin**](/crystal-console/users/invite-users-to-crystal.md), who manages the process from the Console.

### Invitation Options

The Admin can invite you from the Console in one of two ways:

1. By sending you an [**invitation link via email**](/crystal-console/users/invite-users-to-crystal/how-to-invite-users.md)
2. By granting access via [**Google or Microsoft Identity Providers (IDP)**](/crystal-console/users/invite-users-to-crystal/invite-users-via-identity-providers.md)

{% hint style="info" %} <mark style="color:blue;">**Please Note**</mark>

At this stage, the Admin also needs to add you to one or more *Groups* to give you permission to view data, otherwise you won’t be able to talk to Crystal on the first access.
{% endhint %}

## Accept the Invitation

&#x20;You can access Crystal in two ways, based on the Admin's choices for your account.

### Invitation by email

If you have been invited by email, check your **inbox**, click on the **invitation link**, set up a **password**, and create a **personal account**.

<details>

<summary>How to create a password</summary>

Both your username (your email address) and password are **case-sensitive**.

The password must be **at least** **8 characters** long.

</details>

{% hint style="info" %} <mark style="color:blue;">**Please Note**</mark>

In case you do not receive any email, check your account's **spam** folder or reach out to your Crystal **Admin**.
{% endhint %}

At this point, a **confirmation** of the password change will appear and you will be able to do your **first** [**login**](/crystal-advisor/access-to-crystal/log-in-1.md) to Crystal from this point forward.&#x20;

### Invitation by IDP

If you have been invited by an Identity Provider, you can **directly proceed to your first** [**login**](/crystal-advisor/access-to-crystal/log-in-1.md) with Google or Microsoft, without setting up a personal account.

Your journey with Crystal can now start!&#x20;
