Now you're looking at an interface with tabs, buttons, and options you didn't expect. Don't worry - you don't need to understand everything right now. This guide shows you exactly what you need for your first event and what you can explore later.** ### What Just Happened When your event was approved, we automatically set up: 1. **Your Organization Tenant** - A permanent account for your organization 2. **Your First Classroom** - Already created and ready to use 3. **Your First Game** - The event you requested, pre-loaded with "A Scandal in Valdoria" 4. **Full Management Access** - You're the Tenant Manager with complete control Your approval email included a link to your tenant dashboard. That's where you'll access your game link, add future events, and manage everything KC7-related for your organization. ### Your First Visit to the Dashboard The first time you log into your tenant dashboard, you might feel overwhelmed by options. Here's what actually matters for your first event: **What you need immediately:** * Your classroom name (already created) * Your game link to share with participants (in the email and dashboard) * The event date you scheduled **What you can explore after your first event:** * Adding more games * Creating additional classrooms * Customizing appearance * Managing users * Viewing analytics Don't feel pressured to learn everything at once. Many successful hosts run multiple events while only using a tiny fraction of the tenant features. ### Accessing Your Tenant Dashboard Your approval email included a direct link to your tenant dashboard. Bookmark this link - you'll use it every time you want to manage games, view results, or add new events. The URL typically looks like: ``` https://kc7cyber.com/dashboard/[your-tenant-name] ``` You can also access it by: 1. Going to [kc7cyber.com](https://kc7cyber.com) 2. Logging in with your account 3.

Do I need to do anything in the dashboard before my first event? No! Your game is already set up. Just share the game link from your approval email and run your event. You can explore the dashboard afterward.
Where do I find my game link? It's in your approval email, or navigate to: Dashboard → Your Classroom → View Modules → Your Game → Copy link
Can I add participants to my classroom before the event? You can, but it's not necessary. Participants create accounts when they first access the game link. Pre-adding is useful for tracking specific users or requiring approval.
What happens if I accidentally delete something? Games and classrooms can be deleted, but participant data is preserved. Contact if you need to restore something.
Do I need to create a new classroom for each event? No! One classroom can hold multiple games. Only create new classrooms when you want to organize truly different groups (e.g., "Beginners" vs "Advanced" or "Fall 2024" vs "Spring 2025").
How do I give someone else access to help manage? Go to Users tab → Invite user → Choose permission level (Tenant Manager for full access, Classroom Manager for limited access)
