Sign in to Beyond Projects
Sign in to Beyond Projects with your Beyond account, choose the organization you are working in, and read the three parts of the screen.
- Availability: Experimental
- Evidence: Recorded run
- How-to guide
Before you start
- You need a Beyond account. Projects never asks for a password of its own.
- You need your Beyond Projects address. Projects is not hosted, so there is no public one: ask the people who run your installation.
Sign in
- Open your Beyond Projects address. Signed out, the screen is titled "Sign in to Beyond Projects" and says "Your Beyond account signs you in. You will come back to this page."
- Choose Continue with Beyond Accounts.
- If you are not signed in at Accounts yet, sign in there. If you already are, nothing is asked.
Expected outcome: you are back in Projects, on the address you opened first. A link to one project that someone sent you survives the sign-in.
If the screen says "Sign-in is not configured in this installation.", there is no button to press: the people who run the installation have to connect it to Beyond Accounts.
Choose the organization you are working in
The header always shows the Organization you are working in, so that you do not manage the wrong one. Change it there. Changing the organization leaves the project you were looking at, because a project belongs to one organization.
The address of the page holds the organization and the project on screen. A bookmark, a reload and the browser's back button lead to the same screen.
With no organization at all, the screen says "You do not belong to an organization yet" and "A project always belongs to an organization. Create one in Beyond Accounts, or accept an invitation, and come back." New organization takes you to Accounts: see Organizations and members.
Read the screen
| Part | What it shows |
|---|---|
| The organization panel | The name of the organization, Your role in it, your Workspace development standing in one sentence, and the links that manage the organization in Beyond Accounts |
| Projects | The projects of that organization. Search projects matches the name or the project identity. Show lists Active, Archived or Deleted projects; it starts on Active |
| A project | Opens when you choose one: its identity, where it came from, the way into each product and the actions your role allows. All projects goes back to the list |
An empty list says "This organization has no projects here yet.", and a search without results says "No project matches."
Language and appearance
The header has Language (English and Español) and Appearance: Match the system, Light or Dark. Both work before you sign in and are remembered in your browser.
Sign out
Sign out ends your session in Projects and returns you to the sign-in screen. It does not end your login at Beyond Accounts or in another product. Ending your login at Accounts does end the Projects session that came from it. What ends when explains the difference.
If it does not work
| You see | Meaning | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| "Projects cannot answer right now" | The service, or Beyond Accounts behind it, is not answering. You were not signed out and nothing was refused | Projects cannot answer right now |
| "That was not found, or you do not have access to it." | The project does not exist, or it belongs to an organization you are not a member of. Projects does not say which | Check the Organization in the header, or ask an Owner or Administrator of the organization to invite you |
| "Something went wrong here. Nothing was changed." | An unexpected failure | Try again. If it repeats, note the time and what you were doing for the people who run your installation |
