Sign Up & First Login

GridNMS Cloud is the fastest way to start — we host the app, so all you do is sign up, sign in, and (next) connect a collector. This page covers creating your account and your first login.

1. Create your account

1. Go to signup.gridnms.io.
2. Choose the Cloud plan and enter your work email and organisation details.
3. Complete checkout. Your instance is provisioned automatically.
4. Watch for a confirmation email with a link to your new GridNMS instance.

Note

Your instance gets its own address (for example your-org.gridnms.io). Use that address — and the email/password you set during signup — to log in.

2. Sign in

1. Open your instance address from the welcome email.
2. Enter your email and password and select Sign in.

Add a passkey (recommended)

GridNMS supports passkeys (Face ID, Touch ID, Windows Hello, or a security key) for faster, phishing-resistant sign-in:

1. After logging in, open your profile (top-right avatar → Profile).
2. Choose Add passkey and follow your device’s prompt.
3. Next time, select Sign in with passkey.

3. Invite your team

1. Go to Configure → Users (admins only).
2. Add a teammate by email and assign them a role — roles control what each person can see and change (for example, full admin vs. read-only viewer).

Tip

Assign the least access each person needs. You can fine-tune what every role can do under Configure → Access.

What’s next

Your account is ready, but GridNMS can’t see your network yet. The next step is to deploy a collector:
