What it is

A Noru account is a personal login that can belong to one or more organizations. Signing in opens the organization you used last; if you belong to several, Noru asks you to choose. Sign-in itself is handled by a dedicated sign-in provider, while what you may do inside an organization comes from the role Noru records on your membership. This page covers the screens between opening the app and seeing the dashboard, plus the two menus that follow you everywhere: the organization switcher and the user menu.

Where to find it

Open the app signed outSign in

Screen	Route	What you see
Sign in	`/sign-in`	Welcome back and "Sign in to your Noru workspace."
Create an account	`/sign-up`	Create your account and "Automate your compliance from day one."
Waitlist	`/get-started`	The public form for people who do not have access yet
MFA required	`/mfa-required`	Shown when the organization enforces MFA and your account has none
Choose an organization	`/org/select`	Shown when several organizations are available

Both the sign-in and sign-up forms return you to / when they finish.

The sign-in page with the Welcome back heading and the sign-in form — The sign-in page. The form itself belongs to the sign-in provider; the shell around it is Noru's.

Key actions

Go to /sign-in and complete the form with the method your organization uses.

Noru opens the organization that was active last. With no active organization and exactly one membership, that membership is activated for you.

With several memberships you land on /org/select; with none you land on /org/new to create an organization.

Meet an MFA requirement

An admin can require multi-factor authentication for everyone in the organization under Settings → Security. When that is on and your account has no second factor, every sign-in stops at /mfa-required.

Read the heading Multi-factor authentication required and the instruction "This organization requires MFA. Open Security below, configure an authenticator, then continue to Noru."

In the embedded profile, open the Security section and add an authenticator app.

Click Continue to Noru. If the requirement is now satisfied you land on /; otherwise the page stays.

The page redirects on its own when it does not apply: to /sign-in if you are signed out, to /org/new if you have no organization, and to / if MFA is already satisfied.

Choose an organization

/org/select shows the heading Choose an organization and "Select the organization you want to open in Noru." Personal workspaces are hidden; only organizations are listed. Selecting one opens /; the create option opens /org/new. If you followed a link to an organization you no longer belong to, the subtitle reads "You no longer have access to that organization. Select one you belong to." When an organization is already active the page sends you to / instead.

Switch organizations

Click the organization name at the top of the sidebar.

The menu is titled Organizations. The active organization is listed first; the others follow after a separator.

Pick one. The overlay "Switching organization..." appears, and the app reloads at / inside the new organization.

The organization switcher menu open above the sidebar with the active organization listed first — The switcher. The Settings item at the bottom is enabled only for admins.

The menu's footer item Settings is disabled unless your role can manage settings. With no memberships at all the switcher reads No Organization Selected and "Get started with your first organization".

The menu at the bottom of the sidebar carries your avatar and five items.

Item	What it does
Account	Opens `/account`: profile, security, and personal preferences
Tasks	Opens `/tasks`, the work assigned to you
Notifications	Opens the notifications modal. A red badge counts unread items and caps at 9+; a green dot means the live stream is connected
Theme	Switches between dark and light
Log out	Ends the session and returns you to `/sign-in`

The user menu open above the sidebar footer with Account, Tasks, Notifications, Theme, and Log out — The user menu.

Statuses and fields

Your role is per organization and decides what the app lets you change.

Status	Meaning	Set by
Admin`admin`	Full access to all organization features and settings, including Settings and billing	The invite, or an admin later
Editor`editor`	Can manage content and workflows, limited settings access	The invite, or an admin later
Viewer`viewer`	Read-only access to organization data; bulk bars show the text Read-only access	The invite, or an admin later

Tips and gotchas

If you belong to exactly one organization you never see /org/select; the membership is activated as soon as you sign in. The page only appears when there is a real choice to make.

MFA here protects Noru only

The MFA requirement guards your Noru login. It does not enforce a second factor on the cloud accounts, identity provider, or repositories Noru connects to. Personnel MFA coverage on the dashboard comes from your identity provider, not from this setting.

Switching organizations is a full reload, so unsaved edits in a policy or a dialog are lost. Save first.

What Noru does not do

Noru does not store your password or second factor; the sign-in provider does. Noru does not read the sign-in provider's own organization role when deciding what you may do; the role recorded on your Noru membership is the one that counts, so change roles under Settings → Members. A record in the Personnel directory does not give anyone a login; membership does.
