  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Prerequisites

* **Organization Owner** access to your Atlas organization, so you can invite the integration account.

## Setup

<Steps>
  <Step title="Add MongoDB Atlas in AccessOwl">
    Either add a new application or open Applications and click the +-symbol, then continue.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Invite the integration account as Organization Owner">
    AccessOwl shows you the integration account's email address. In MongoDB Atlas:

    * Select your organization from the **Organizations** menu in the navigation bar.
    * Click **Applications** in the sidebar under the **Identity & Access** section.
    * Click **Invite Users**.
    * Enter the integration account's email address, then press Enter.
    * Open the role dropdown and select **Organization Owner**.
    * Click **Add Users to Organization**.

    <Note>
      The integration account needs the Organization Owner role because that is the only organization role in Atlas with privileges to add, modify, and remove users across the organization. Invitations expire after 30 days if not accepted.
    </Note>

## FAQ

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="The user was provisioned but I can't see them in Atlas">
    When AccessOwl provisions a user, the integration account sends them an invitation to your Atlas organization. Until the user accepts it, they show as invited rather than as a full member. If a provisioning request shows as completed in AccessOwl but the user is not yet an active member in Atlas, they haven't accepted the invitation yet. Invitations expire after 30 days.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can AccessOwl manage project-level access?">
    AccessOwl manages membership of the Atlas organization and the organization roles assigned to it. Access to individual projects and clusters is granted inside Atlas.
