Starting the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform

Once you have been granted the required access rights by the administrator, you can log in to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.

Before you begin:
On the cloud only: You have received an invitation email inviting you to click a link to sign in or create your 3DEXPERIENCE ID to access the platform. If you already have a 3DEXPERIENCE ID, click sign in here and you will be redirected directly to the 3DDashboard app , otherwise, click Create your 3DEXPERIENCE ID and fill in the form. If enabled, you can create a 3DEXPERIENCE ID using one of a number of social accounts, for example Facebook or Google +, to log in.
On premises only: The above note also applies to on-premises environments. In addition, your administrator can also manage your access to the platform without sending you any invitation email.
Note: If you have been invited to several platforms, clicking a link in one of the emails or opening the URL of one of the platforms gives you access to all the platforms.
