# Creating a new account in an existing organization

## New user on a self-hosted instance <a href="#getting-started-new-user-self-hosted" id="getting-started-new-user-self-hosted"></a>

If your company has a self-hosted Tonic Structural instance that is installed on-premises, then you navigate to the Structural URL for that instance.

Your self-hosted instance might be configured to use single sign-on for Structural access. If so, then from the Structural login page, to create your Structural user account, click the single sign-on option.

Otherwise, to create your Structural user account, click **Create Account**.

Your administrator can provide the URL for your Structural instance and confirm the instructions for creating your user account.

When you create the account, the Structural application opens to the **New Workspace** view so that you can [create your first workspace](/app/workspace/managing-workspaces/workspaces-create-edit-delete.md#workspace-create-new).

## New user for an existing Structural Cloud organization <a href="#getting-started-new-user-hosted" id="getting-started-new-user-hosted"></a>

If your Structural license is on Structural Cloud, then new users that have a matching email domain are automatically added to your Structural Cloud organization.

The license agreement specifies the included email domains. When a user with a matching email domain signs up for a Structural account, they are added to that Structural Cloud organization.

For more information about Structural Cloud organizations, go to [Structural organizations](/app/structural-user-access/structural-organizations.md).

To sign up for a Structural Cloud account:

1. Go to <https://app.tonic.ai>.
2. Click **Create Account**.
3. In the **Email** field, provide your email address.
4. In the **Password** field, enter the password to use for Structural.
5. In the **Repeat Password** field, enter the password again.
6. Click **Create Account**.

Structural Cloud opens to the **New Workspace** view so that you can [create your first workspace](/app/workspace/managing-workspaces/workspaces-create-edit-delete.md#workspace-create-new).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.tonic.ai/app/structural-user-access/user-access-new-account.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
