# Overview

A DMARCwise account represents an individual user. Every person who accesses DMARCwise has their own account, which belongs to exactly one organization.

## Creating an account

You can get a DMARCwise account in two ways:

- **Sign up**: create a new account and a new organization at [dmarcwise.io](https://dmarcwise.io). You become the Owner of that organization.
- **Added by an organization member**: an Admin or Owner of an existing organization can add you directly from **Settings** → **Members**. You'll receive an email with a link to set up your password. See [Team members](/docs/organization/team-members) for more.
- **SSO**: if your organization has SSO enabled, you can sign in with your Identity Provider credentials and your account will be created automatically via Just-In-Time (JIT) provisioning. See [Single Sign-On](/docs/organization/sso) for more.

## One organization per user

Each user can only belong to one organization. If you are added to an organization, you cannot simultaneously be a member of another.

## Deleting an account

How you delete your account depends on your situation:

- **Member of an organization (non-owner)**: you cannot self-delete. The organization Owner or an Admin must remove you from the organization via **Settings** → **Members**, which permanently deletes your account.
- **Owner of an organization**: you must delete the entire organization, which permanently deletes all members (including yourself) and all associated data. This can be done from **Settings** → **Danger zone**.
- **Not a member of any organization** (onboarding not completed): you can delete your account yourself from the account settings.

## Account settings

You can manage your personal account settings from the user menu in the top right corner of the dashboard. Available settings include:

- **Profile**: update your display name.
- **Email address**: change the email address associated with your account.
- **Display preferences**: customize the timezone, date format, and time format used across the app.
- **Password**: change your password.
- **Sessions**: view and revoke active sessions on other devices.
- **Security**: manage two-factor authentication (2FA). See [Two-factor authentication](/docs/account/2fa) for more.
