Step 1: Request access
Urban Strategy accounts are provisioned per organisation and can be requested by clicking Register in the top right corner of the portal.
Beta program account (optional)
Relevant only for participants in the Scenexus beta program. The beta and production environments run on separate portals, so a separate account must be registered through the Beta portal.
Once the registration form is send, you'll receive an automated email with a confirmation link. The link is valid for a limited time, so please make sure to finalize your request on time.
Activation link expired?
If the link no longer works, contact your administrator or the Scenexus support team.
Step 2: Await approval
Access is granted by your organisation's Urban Strategy administrator, typically the person who introduced you to the platform or manages your project. If your organisation is new to Urban Strategy, or you are unsure who manages access, the Scenexus support team can help identify the right contact.
Upon activation or upgrades of your account and access-level you'll be informed by the administrator. The following access levels exist for Urban Strategy accounts:
| Access | Description |
|---|---|
| Webportal & webinterface | Most common access-level for users to create scenarios with the Urban Strategy webinterface. |
| REST API Read | Access to the Scenexus REST API, limited to read only. |
