Quick start

Access to data and actions within Opaque is governed by role-based access control (RBAC). Users are assigned specific roles—such as organization admin, workspace admin, or workspace member (user)—which determine what they can see and do in Opaque. Admins create workspaces and invite members to join; users simply sign in to begin collaborating.

Roles at a glance

What you can do in Opaque depends on your role:

  • Organization admins (provisioned by Opaque) primarily assign workspace admins and access organization-wide audit logs.
  • Workspace admins create workspaces, connect datasets, invite members to collaborate, and oversee access to sensitive data.
  • Workspace members (invited by workspace admins) connect datasets, define access policies, and collaborate on encrypted datasets.

Before you begin

Sign in using your organization’s SSO credentials, then sign out once to complete your account setup and ensure full access to the platform.

Designated organization admins

When you first sign in, you will not yet have admin privileges. Opaque will grant you organization admin rights within one business day, enabling you to manage your users and organization.

Sign in

To access Opaque you need a sign-in link (provided by your administrator) and your Okta credentials.

To log in to Opaque:

  1. Go to your organization's Opaque login page (your administrator will provide the link) and sign in using your Okta username and password.

  2. On first log-in, after entering your Okta credentials, you’ll be prompted to set your passkey. You’ll use this passkey for all future sign-ins.

    Important

    Passkeys cannot be changed or recovered. If you forget yours, contact your administrator—they’ll need to create a new account for you.

  3. Click the arrow () icon to finish signing in.

After logging in, you’ll land on the Workspaces page. From here:

  • Workspace admins can create new workspaces.
  • Workspace members (users) can accept invitations to join a workspace (New Invites tab) or select workspaces they’ve joined to run or review jobs and agentic workflows.

For an overview of the user interface and navigation, see UI basics.

Trouble signing in? Try the following:

  • Verify you’re using the correct email and password.
  • Contact your administrator to ensure you’ve been assigned to the Opaque Okta app.

Note

  • You can only be signed in to Opaque on one device or browser at a time. Signing in on a new device will automatically log you out of any previous session.
