Get access and log in

To begin using Control Center, contact your Control Center administrator, who is the person or group in your company with permission to perform administrative tasks. They'll create your account.

Your administrator will send you instructions for getting started via email. The steps you follow depend on how you log in to Control Center. We’re updating the login process across all test and production environments. To determine which login process you’re using, refer to your login screen.

First-time log in (single sign-on)

📘

Single sign-on (SSO) is only available to customers who have purchased it. Contact your Pismo representative for more information.

If your company uses single sign-on for Control Center, use the Control Center URL to log in. Your email is your Control Center username.

After logging in, if your screen displays a message indicating that you don't have a role assigned, contact your Control Center administrator for assistance. After they assign your role, the next time you log in you will have the correct permissions and access.

Use a compatible web browser

When using Control Center, use a Chromium-based web browser, such as Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Opera. Pismo supports the most recent long-term support (LTS) releases of these browsers.
