Get access to the Studio

When your commercetools Frontend project is set up, we create one Studio user with the Admin role and we send them a registration email. After completing the registration process, the Admin user can log in to the Studio.
From the Studio, the Admin user can add team members and provide them with specific permissions by assigning a role. To learn more about user roles, see Managing your team.

When the Admin user adds users to the Studio, they will receive a registration email. After completing the registration process, users can log in to the Studio.

The registration email is sent from no-reply@commercetools.com. The email contains a registration link which is valid for 72 hours.
