# Prerequisites

Before you can start using LinuxGuard, you need to have a tenant account set up. A tenant is your organization's workspace in the LinuxGuard platform where all your agents and data are managed.

## Creating a Tenant

If you don't already have a tenant account, you'll need to contact our sales team to have one created for you.

**Contact**: <sales@linuxguard.io>

When you contact sales, they will:

* Set up your tenant account
* Configure your organization's workspace
* Prepare your access credentials

## Receiving Your Tenant Information

Once your tenant has been created, you will receive an email containing:

* **Login credentials** - Username and password to access the LinuxGuard console
* **Tenant ID** - A unique identifier for your tenant (you'll need this for agent enrollment)

> **Important**: Keep this email safe! You'll need the Tenant ID when configuring your agents.

## Accessing Your Tenant ID Later

If you need to retrieve your Tenant ID after the initial setup, you can find it in the **Settings** page of the LinuxGuard console. This is also where you can generate API keys for agent enrollment.
