Signing In as a New User

To sign in as a new user in Oracle CRM On Demand, you must have a temporary URL for Oracle CRM On Demand and a temporary password. Oracle CRM On Demand sends this information to you by email, in two parts:

• The first email contains the temporary URL that you use to access Oracle CRM On Demand for the first time.
• The second email contains your temporary password.

Depending on how your company administrator sets up your user account, the email that contains your temporary password might also contain your user ID.

NOTE: Your user sign-in ID is shown on the Oracle CRM On Demand page after you sign in for the first time. Although you do not require your user ID the first time that you sign in to Oracle CRM On Demand, you must have it to access Oracle CRM On Demand after the first time you sign in. Therefore, it is recommended that you make a note of your user sign-in ID for future reference.

When you sign in for the first time, you are asked to set up a number of security questions. Take note of the security questions and answers that you set up. If you later forget your password, you will be required to answer the security questions to reset your password. For more information about resetting your password, see Retrieving Your User Sign-In ID or Resetting Your Password.

You can change your security questions at any time in Oracle CRM On Demand, for more information, see Setting Up Your Security Questions.
