Welcome to Cmd.
All Cmd environments start with one user who has a global admin account, and manages the initial configuration of Cmd.

Several tasks can be completed only by a global admin:
Invite additional users to Cmd:
If you add more global admins, they can help with the following steps.
(Optional) Build your projects:
Projects organize your Cmd-enabled servers into separate environments, which can help with the management of log data and security rules.
Configure global permissions:
Customize Cmd for the preferences of your organization.
- Configure global security settings.
- Set global integrations permissions.
Note: All integrations are enabled by default (i.e. they can be enabled by project administrators).

Add additional users:
- Admins/managers who can configure your Cmd platform;
- Viewers, who can monitor Cmd data; and,
- Server operators, who can access Cmd-enabled servers.
Add servers:
Either:
- Install the Cmd agent on a single server using a bash script, or...
- Deploy the Cmd agent to a fleet of servers or containers.
Configure project settings:
Configure settings related to the Cmd web app and agent.
Set up project-level integrations:

Create your first triggers:
Triggers form the heart of Cmd's enforcement capabilities. They enable you to make rules about what happens on your servers.
Set up reports:
