# Sign in

> Access the approved workspace account and keep browser, local, and admin context aligned.

Use the company-approved Google or Microsoft account tied to your Ubik workspace. Identity matters because approvals, source access, local capture, and audit trails all depend on the account your admin approved.

## Before you start

* Use the work account your admin approved for Ubik.
* Keep your browser updated so source previews, auth windows, and local handoffs work reliably.
* If your company uses SSO, complete the SSO prompt before returning to Ubik.
* Use the same account across browser and local desktop flows when your workspace uses Ubik Local.

## Sign in flow

<div className="ubik-steps">
  <div className="ubik-step"><span>01 · Start from approved access</span> Use the app link from the guide, main site, or workspace invitation.</div>
  <div className="ubik-step"><span>02 · Choose the approved identity</span> Continue with Google or Microsoft using the account your admin expects to audit.</div>
  <div className="ubik-step"><span>03 · Complete SSO</span> Finish provider confirmation before returning to Ubik.</div>
  <div className="ubik-step"><span>04 · Check workspace context</span> Confirm you land in the right workspace before reviewing queue items or sensitive source context.</div>
</div>

## If you cannot sign in

Check these first:

* You are using the approved work email, not a personal account.
* Your browser is not blocking the identity-provider pop-up.
* Your admin has added you to the correct workspace.
* Your company SSO session has not expired.

If sign-in still fails, send your admin the account email, provider used, timestamp, and a screenshot of the final error state.
