# Create a Transform Login

### Overview

Use this guide when signing in to Transform for the first time. The flow starts from an invite or signup link.

### Key Concepts

* **Login**: email-based sign-in identity
* **Verification**: optional email validation step
* **SSO**: sign-in through a centralized identity provider (if enabled)

### How It’s Used

Use this setup during onboarding. Use it again when provisioning an additional admin login.

### Benefits

* Faster access to Organizations and Projects
* Reduced sign-in issues from incomplete setup

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.transform.ai/getting-started/create-a-transform-login.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
