# Accessing your account

In order to access the platform you need a successful login via any of the login mechanisms: social logins, credentials, [Single-](https://docs.meterian.io/master/sso-and-mfa)[Sign-On](https://docs.meterian.io/master/sso-and-mfa).

**The platform identifies you with your full email,** collected via the login. An email may belong to one account only. If your email was previously added to an account, either as a direct member or as part of a [team](https://docs.meterian.io/the-meterian-webapp/the-web-dashboard-1/teams), then you are simply part of that account.  

If nobody added you to an account, there are automatic provisioning systems kicking in:

* you may be automatically added to an account on your **email domain** [(see here)](https://docs.meterian.io/the-meterian-webapp/advanced-functionalities/auto-grouping/organization-autogrouping)
* you may be automatically added to an account based on your **GitHub organisation** [(see here)](https://docs.meterian.io/the-meterian-webapp/advanced-functionalities/auto-grouping/how-to-set-an-organization)

Please note that these mechanisms may not be enabled on your instance or on your account: in that case the system will simply deny access access until your email is added as a direct member of a team or of  an account.
