Create the first administrator
Bootstrap managed sign-in with the private administrator token, enroll an authenticator and establish a second administrator.
Create the account
- When installation completes, open Sparta from the setup page.
- Copy the private administrator setup token from your authenticated setup session.
- Enter it on the workspace's first-administrator form and create your administrator account.
- Enroll an authenticator and complete the requested verification.
The setup token is a credential. Keep it out of URLs, screenshots, tickets and public documents. Bootstrap is single-use.
Establish recovery access
Invite a second administrator and verify that they can sign in. Keep a protected authenticator backup and an approved recovery procedure.
There is no unauthenticated password-reset or MFA-bypass route. A sole administrator who loses their authenticator needs operator-assisted recovery.
Source-managed installations
Set AUTH_MODE=managed on both Workers and the API's APP_BASE_URL to the exact HTTPS application origin. Install a random SETUP_TOKEN of at least 32 characters through the API Worker's secret store. Remove it after setup. Do not switch an existing Access deployment's mode without following the Access-mode migration guidance.
