Getting Started

Welcome! This guide will help you get started with DELEGATE.

Before you begin, make sure you have:

  • Access to a DELEGATE deployment
  • Basic familiarity with the concepts and terminology

Here are the basic steps to get started:

  1. Log in — Access your DELEGATE instance with your credentials. On a clean installation, use the default administrator account for your first login.
  2. Explore the dashboard — Familiarize yourself with the main interface and available modules.
  3. Navigate modules — Browse the different sections to discover features relevant to your workflow.

A clean installation of DELEGATE seeds exactly one default administrator (“superadmin”) account so an operator can log in for the first time.

  • Username — the value of the INITIAL_SUPERUSER_EMAIL environment variable, configured at install time. The documented default is admin@localhost.
  • Initial password — supplied by the installer via the INITIAL_SUPERUSER_PASSWORD key of the <installationName>-realm-credentials Kubernetes Secret (the same Secret that already holds the Keycloak client credentials for your installation). This value is never published here or committed to any checked-in file — ask whoever provisioned your installation for it, or set it yourself if you are performing the install.
  • Forced change on first login — Keycloak requires this account to set a new password immediately on its first login (an UPDATE_PASSWORD required action), before any application page becomes reachable. This step is mandatory and cannot be skipped.

Security note: rotate this account’s credentials immediately after first login in any production installation. Do not leave the installer-supplied default password in place longer than necessary to complete the first login.

Once you’re comfortable with the basics:

  • Visit the main DELEGATE documentation to explore all available features
  • Consult specific module guides for detailed instructions
  • Reach out to your administrator if you need help or have questions

If you encounter any issues or have questions, contact your system administrator or support team.
