# Chatips tenant user guide

This documentation is for **administrators and agents inside a tenant workspace**.

Sign-in URL: your workspace domain (for example `https://workspace.chatips.com`).

## Before you read

1. **What you can see depends on the plan**. If a left-menu item is missing, or an upgrade prompt appears, the current plan does not include it. Check quotas in [Billing and usage](./26-billing-and-usage), or contact Chatips to upgrade.

2. **Administrators and agents have different permissions**. Administrators can change channels, members, automation, Help Centre, and more; agents by default handle conversations, contacts and canned responses. Custom roles narrow or widen that further.

3. **Exhausted quotas block actions immediately**. For example you cannot add people, send campaigns, or publish articles. Quota `0` means the capability is unavailable — not “unlimited”.

4. “Menu location” below always means the workspace **left sidebar**.

# 1. Login and Workspace

1. Open the workspace domain (provided by Chatips, e.g. `https://workspace.chatips.com`).

2. Log in using the account from the invitation email, or the email address + password provided by the administrator.

3. If two-step verification is enabled, enter the 6-digit verification code from your authenticator app or a backup code as prompted. For details, see [Profile and Notifications](./28-profile-and-notifications).

4. The same login account can join **multiple workspaces**. The workspace name in the top-left corner can be switched.
