How to set up Sherlock AI on CloudFerro Cloud
To use the Sherlock API, you need a CloudFerro user account with administrator permissions in the organization that will use Sherlock AI. The setup is completed in four stages: starting from the CloudFerro service entry point, registering the user account, preparing the organization, and creating the first Sherlock AI project.
Step 1: Start from CloudFerro
Sherlock AI is part of the CloudFerro service portfolio, so the CloudFerro website is the starting point for service information and registration. Use it to confirm the correct entry point and make sure that the organization which will use Sherlock AI can be registered for CloudFerro services.

Step 2: Register your user account
Create a CloudFerro user account, or use an existing account that should manage Sherlock AI access. The registration procedure is described in Registration and setting up an account. Use the correct email address from the beginning, because permissions are assigned to individual user accounts and later used to control access to projects and services.

Step 3: Prepare the organization
Sherlock AI access is handled through an organization, which brings together users, permissions, projects, and service usage under one administrative structure. The procedure for creating and updating this structure is described in Adding and editing organizations. Make sure that your account has administrator permissions; otherwise, you may be able to log in but not manage users or create the project required for Sherlock AI work. If the organization has already been created, ask one of its administrators to add your account with the required role.

Step 4: Create the first Sherlock AI project
After the account and organization are ready, open the Sherlock AI management console and create the first project. This project is where you continue with Sherlock AI configuration, credentials, API access, and service usage. When it becomes available, the initial setup is complete and you can continue with the next Sherlock AI guide.
