# Set up your organisation

Everything in Kontala belongs to an organisation: its properties, its people and its data.

## How an organisation is created

Kontala creates each organisation for you, with its name and the region its data is stored in.
There is no self-serve sign-up.
To get started, [book a demo](/demo).

## Sign in

Sign in at [konta.la](https://konta.la) with the email address you were invited with.

## Turn on two-step verification

We recommend that everyone turns on two-step verification.

1. Open **Settings**, then **My details**.
2. Under **Two-step verification**, choose **Turn on two-step verification**.
3. Scan the code with the authenticator app on your phone, or type the setup key into the app.
4. Enter the 6-digit code the app shows.

Signing in then asks for a code from your authenticator app as well as your password.
Keep your recovery codes somewhere safe: they let you in if you lose your phone.
Only you can set this up, so nobody else, not even an admin, can do it for you.

## Choose where your data is stored

Before any property can collect, an admin makes a one-time choice on the **Where your data is stored** page.
It cannot be changed later.
Kontala stores your events in its own warehouse in the EU.

## Set your reporting currency and time zone

An admin sets the organisation's reporting currency and time zone in **Settings**, under **Organisation**.
Ad spend is stored and shown in the reporting currency, and a visit's day is counted in the reporting time zone.
You need both before you can [upload ad spend](/docs/data-capture/revenue-and-campaigns).

## Invite your team

1. Open **Settings**, then **Users**.
2. Choose **Invite a user**, enter their email address and choose a role.

## Roles

| Role | What they can do |
| --- | --- |
| Admin | Everything: change how tracking is configured, make server keys, invite and manage people, and change the organisation's details |
| Member | See the organisation, its people and its properties, create and archive properties, and create and revoke write keys |
| Viewer | See the organisation, its people and its properties and their tracking |

A member cannot change how tracking is configured, so turning capture features on and off needs an admin.

Your role in Kontala also sets what you can do in Analytics.
