Getting started in the app
Find your way around after sign-in — team switcher, Team sidebar, and profile menus.

After you sign in, EmailGuard opens on your active team. Almost every setting and API key is scoped to that team.
Layout at a glance
| Area | Where | What it controls |
|---|---|---|
| Team switcher | Top of the sidebar (team name + chevron) | Which team is active |
| Developer | Upper sidebar group | Documentation, API reference, MCP integration |
| Team | Middle sidebar group | Settings, Members (shared teams), Billing, Security, API keys, Notifications |
| Profile menu | Bottom of the sidebar (your name) | Account settings, personal security, your teams list |
Billing and Notifications expand to show sub-pages (for example Billing → Usage, Notifications → Rules / Channels).
Switch teams
- Open the team switcher at the top of the sidebar.
- Select the team you want to work in.
API keys, billing, members, and notification rules always apply to the active team. See Creating and switching teams.
Team vs account settings
- Team → Settings — team name, emoji, contact email, and (for parent teams) sync options. See Team settings.
- Profile → Settings — your name, emoji, email, and password. See Managing your account.
- Team → Security — team audit log (Owner/Admin). See Audit log.
- Profile → Security — MFA, sessions, and your personal audit history. See Securing your account.
Where documentation lives
| Need | Go to |
|---|---|
| Dashboard how-tos | Documentation (this help center) |
| Endpoint schemas & SDKs | API reference |
| Signal definitions, scopes, roles | Knowledge base |
You can also open these from the in-app Developer section in the sidebar.
