# Creating Efento Cloud account

To start using Efento Cloud, you first need to create a user account. There are two ways to do this:

1. **Direct registration:** You can go directly to [cloud.efento.io](https://cloud.efento.io) and register a new account. This method allows you to set up your own account and create a new Organization in the platform.
2. **Invitation via email:** If you have been invited to join an existing Organization, you will receive an email invitation. Click the link in the email to register your account.

Regardless of which method you use, the account registration process is the same and is described in the following steps.
