Your Google account
Note
If your company uses
Federated Authentication

GitHub Accounts
If you register with your GitHub Account, the following differences apply when using your GitHub account with
Atlas
:
GitHub manages your user details, email address, and password. You can't change this information using the
Atlas
console or
API
.
GitHub manages your
2FA
. You can't use
Atlas
multi-factor authentication, GitHub should verify your identity using
GitHub 2-Step Verification.
If you
linked
your
Atlas
account to your GitHub Account, you can
unlink these accounts
in
Atlas
.
Google Accounts
If you register with your Google Account, the following differences apply when using your Google account with
Atlas
:
Google manages your user details, email address, and password. You can't change this information using the
Atlas
console or
API
.
Google manages your
2FA
. You can't use
Atlas
multi-factor authentication, and Google should verify your identity using
Google 2-Step Verification.

MongoDB Cloud Manager
Users
If you use

Prerequisites
Add the
Atlas
CDN Host to your Allow List
Atlas
uses a
CDN
to serve content quickly. If your organization uses a firewall, add the following
Atlas
CDN
hosts to the firewall's allow list to prevent issues accessing the Atlas UI:
https://assets.mongodb-cdn.com/
https://downloads.mongodb.com/
(required for the Data Explorer feature)
GitHub Accounts Require a Public Email Address
If you try to register with Github, you must have an public email address associated with your GitHub account.
Atlas
returns an error if you attempt to register without a public email address.
To set a public GitHub email address:
After you log into GitHub, click
Settings
on your profile menu. The
Public Profile
page displays.
Select one email address from the
Public email
dropdown in your
Public Profile
.
If GitHub greys out this dropdown menu:
Click
Emails
from the left-side menu.
Clear the
Keep my email addresses private
box.
Return to the
Public Profile
page and select an email address from the
Public email
dropdown.
Click
Update profile
to save the changes.
Register and Log in to
Atlas
Select your interface and registration method.
Interface
Select
Create an
Atlas
Organization and Project
Atlas
creates an organization and project for you. You can also create them on your own.
At the
Organization
level, you can implement security controls and create users which work across one or more
Projects
. To learn more, see
The Organization Level.
You can create project-level
Atlas
users and roles
with appropriate access to the different production and development application environments. To learn more, see
The Project Level.
Create an Atlas organization
and then
create a project
in this organization. Deploy your first cluster in this project.
Next Steps
With your
Atlas
account, open the organization and its project, and then proceed to
Deploy a Free Cluster.
Tip
To learn about shortcuts you can use to navigate your new
Atlas
account, see
