OverviewPrerequisites1. Create a Cloudflare account2. Create a Zero Trust organizationWhat would you like to do?

Set up Cloudflare Zero Trust to protect your users, devices, and networks. Complete the prerequisites below, then choose a use case to get started.

Prerequisites

Before you begin any use case, you need a Cloudflare account and a Zero Trust organization.

1. Create a Cloudflare account

Sign up for a Cloudflare account and enable two-factor authentication.

2. Create a Zero Trust organization

  1. In the Cloudflare dashboard , select Zero Trust.

  2. On the onboarding screen, choose a team name. The team name is a unique, internal identifier for your Zero Trust organization. Users will enter this team name when they enroll their device manually, and it will be the subdomain for your App Launcher (as relevant). Your business name is the typical entry.

    You can find your team name in the Cloudflare dashboard by going to Zero Trust > Settings.

  3. Complete your onboarding by selecting a subscription plan and entering your payment details. If you chose the Zero Trust Free plan, this step is still needed but you will not be charged.

When you create your organization, Cloudflare automatically adds the Cloudflare identity provider as your default login method, so your users can sign in with their Cloudflare account credentials right away. You can add a one-time PIN or connect a third-party identity provider at any time.

What would you like to do?

These use cases match the guided onboarding in the Cloudflare One dashboard . To follow along in the dashboard, select Get Started.
