Getting started with Clarios

Clarios shows you, simply and at a glance, how secure your Microsoft 365 environment is: your devices, your people’s sign-ins, a security check, and protection for your email. This page gets you to your first dashboard in a few minutes.

ℹ️ Note: The Clarios screens are in English. This handbook comes in English and German, but the buttons and menu names are the same (English) in both.

Step by step: sign in

  1. Open Clarios in your browser. The live instance is at go.clarios.app, or use the address your IT team gave you.
  2. Click Sign in.
  3. Sign in with your usual Microsoft 365 account, the same one you use for Outlook or Teams. There is no separate Clarios password.

✅ Done. You’re in, looking at the Dashboard (your home page).

ℹ️ Two instances: go.clarios.app is the live, stable instance and the right one for everyday work. dev.clarios.app is a development instance that gets new features sooner but can be less stable. Use dev.clarios.app only if your IT team asks you to.

The very first time: someone has to approve access

Before Clarios can show you anything, it needs a one-time approval to read your data. A person with administrator rights, usually your IT team, gives this approval. Until then, the pages stay empty.

Here is how the approval is given: Approval & Settings. If your IT team has already done this, you can skip it.

Finding your way around

Your menu is on the left, top to bottom:

  • Dashboard: your home page with one tile per area.
  • The areas that are switched on for you:
  • Settings (at the bottom): approvals and permissions.

ℹ️ A lock icon? An area with a lock isn’t switched on for you yet. Ask your IT team or your Clarios contact.

What can you do?

That depends on your permission level:

  • Reader: view everything (dashboards, reports).
  • Writer: also change things, for example fix a security issue.
  • Admin: also manage.
