# The Escouade account

> One account, at <https://compte.escouade.io>, opens the whole family: Escouade, Meet, Mail, Social and Tools. It holds your organisation, its members, its size and its invoice. There is no password: you prove your email address each time you sign in.

## Signing up

Signing up opens an **organisation** for a company that exists and is active:

1. Enter the company's **SIREN** number (the French company identifier). Escouade checks its control digit, then asks the public French company register: the register must know it and list it as active.
2. Enter your **email address** and type in the six-digit code sent to it, or go through Google (below).
3. Accept the [terms and conditions](https://escouade.io/en/terms) in force.

The organisation starts on **Free**, and you are its owner. You choose a [size](https://escouade.io/en/docs/tailles.md) when you need one.

- **A SIREN number holds a single organisation.** If the company is already signed up, the sign-up is refused: ask its owner to add you.
- **The free trial happens once**: once per SIREN number and once per company email domain. A second company signed up with an address on the same domain (a subsidiary, a holding company) starts on Free, without a trial. A public email provider (Gmail, Orange…) does not count as a company domain. See [The trial](https://escouade.io/en/docs/utilisation-et-facture.md#essai).
- **Sign-up closed or size full**: opening happens in stages. When sign-up is closed, or the size you want is full, your request (the company, the verified address, the size) goes on the waiting list, and an invitation reaches you by email, in order of arrival. The invitation link works once, for that company, that address and that size. A request is kept for twelve months after its last change.

## Signing in

There is no password. You prove your address in one of these ways:

| Method | How |
|---|---|
| **Code by email** | A six-digit code, valid for 10 minutes, five attempts, single use. |
| **Continue with Google** | For a Gmail or Google Workspace address: Google vouches that it is yours. An address from elsewhere opened as a Google account receives a code by email instead. |
| **Continue with Microsoft** | [coming soon] |

Whatever the method, you are found by your address: the same account, the same organisations. If your account has a second factor, the code from your authenticator app is asked for next.

Signing in counts for the whole family: once signed in, Meet, Mail, Social, Tools and Escouade recognise you without asking for another code.

## Signing out

"Sign out", from any application of the family, goes through the account: it closes its own session and those of the other applications. You leave the whole family at once.

## The account pages

| Page | What you do there | Who |
|---|---|---|
| **Usage** | The daily and weekly allowances, the credits, the trial. See [Usage and invoice](https://escouade.io/en/docs/utilisation-et-facture.md). | Any member |
| **Members** | Add or remove a member, change their role. | Owners and administrators |
| **Organisation** | The name, the billing address. | Owners and administrators, to change them |
| **Connectors** | The MCP addresses to connect in Claude or ChatGPT. See [The family's MCP servers](https://escouade.io/en/docs/mcp.md). | Any member |
| **API keys** | They will arrive with the family's public API. Until then, assistants connect through the connectors, with your sign-in. | Any member |
| **Billing** | Invoices and their payment, the payment method, buying credits. | Owners and administrators |
| **Profile** | Your first name, your last name and your language. | Each person, for themselves |

In Escouade, the same pages open without leaving the workspace, in Settings › Account and subscription.

## Roles

An organisation has three account roles:

- **Owner**: everything, including naming or removing another owner. An organisation always keeps at least one owner.
- **Administrator**: members, the organisation, billing.
- **Member**: enters the family's applications and reads the account pages, except billing.

These roles say who manages the organisation. What each person sees and changes in the Escouade workspace is set separately, by the workspace's roles: see [Access and roles](https://escouade.io/en/docs/escouade/acces.md). The first time they enter Escouade, a member arrives with the role the account gives them; a person removed from the organisation can no longer enter.

## Several organisations

One person can belong to several organisations, with a role in each. The family switcher, at the top of each application, shows the current organisation and its size, and switches to another without signing in again.

## Language

Your language, English or French, is set at your first sign-in from your browser; after that, you change it yourself, on the Profile page. The family's applications follow it. The account pages themselves are in French for now.

## Closing an organisation

Closing an organisation marks it closed; its invoices and accounting records are kept, as the law requires. A person who has not signed in for three years is erased by the purge, as the [privacy policy](https://escouade.io/en/privacy) says.
