Sign up & first login
You need an account before you can create anything. This page walks the fastest path from zero to a working session in the console.
1. Request an account
Onboarding today is assisted rather than fully self-serve — a member of the team provisions your first project and sends you the credentials.
- Fill in the contact form at thewahda.com, or
- Email
info@thewahda.comwith:- Your full name and organization
- A work email address (used as your login)
- What you're building — one or two sentences is enough
You'll receive a reply with your username, an initial password, and the name of your first project.
:::tip Ask for the quota you actually need If you already know you need more than a handful of VMs, or a specific database size, mention it in the request. Starting with the right quota is easier than raising it later. :::
2. Open the console
Go to console.thewahda.com — the web console for The Wahda Cloud.
Enter what you received:
| Field | What to enter |
|---|---|
| Username | The username from your welcome email. |
| Password | Your initial password. |
Click Log in.
:::caution Change the initial password The first thing you should do after landing in the console is change your password. Top-right avatar → My Profile → Change Password. :::
3. You're in
After sign-in you land on the project Home dashboard — a summary of the current project, your role, and quotas in this region.
Four things to notice on this screen:
- Project selector (top bar) — the project you're currently working in. Every resource you create goes here.
- Region selector (top bar) — the region every action targets. Resources are region-scoped; switching region hides everything from the other region.
- Quota Overview — compute, storage, and network usage vs. current allocation in this project, broken out by resource type. See Projects →.
- Hello,
<your-username>panel on the right — shows your username, your assigned roles (reader,member,manager,admin), and your affiliated domain.
