Creating your organization
Signing up, choosing your permanent subdomain, and what gets generated for you.
Setting up happens once, at incredify.net/onboarding, immediately after your first sign-in. It asks for four things.
- Organization name
- How your institution appears on every badge and claim page. You can change this later in Settings → Organization profile.
- Subdomain
- Your address on Incredify —
yourschool.incredify.net. Checked for availability as you type. This is permanent. It becomes part of your cryptographic issuer identity, so changing it would invalidate the signature on every badge you have ever issued. Choose the one you'd want on a credential in ten years. - Your name
- Recorded alongside a confirmation that you're authorized to issue credentials on behalf of the organization.
- Organization type and expected volume
- Used to size your account and to shape what we build next. Neither restricts what you can do.
The subdomain cannot be changed
It is baked into your did:web issuer identifier, which every credential you issue is signed against. There is no rename path — a new subdomain would mean a new organization. Pick carefully.
What happens when you submit
- An Ed25519 signing keypair is generated for your organization. The private half is encrypted at rest and never leaves the server; nobody at Incredify can read it from the dashboard.
- Your did:web identity is published at
did:web:incredify.net:issuers:<your-subdomain>. This is the public record that lets anyone confirm a badge came from you. - Your branded page goes live at
<your-subdomain>.incredify.net. - You're added as an admin of the new organization.
- If you signed up with a work email address, your organization is verified automatically — see Getting verified.
One organization per account
Each sign-in belongs to exactly one organization. To work with a colleague, have them sign up first, then add them under Settings → Members — see Members and roles. If you need to group work by school or department, use sub-organizations rather than separate accounts.
