Porcia starts building your application inventory after you create a workspace and connect an organization provider. The setup is designed for the person creating the workspace and an administrator from your identity provider.

​
Step 1: Create your account

  1. Go to app.porcia.org/signup.
  2. Choose Google, Microsoft, or Email.
  3. Complete the sign-up flow.
Signing up with Google or Microsoft verifies your Porcia account. It does not yet connect your organization or grant Porcia access to your provider. Organization access is requested in the next step.
Personal email domains such as Gmail and Outlook are not supported for workspace signup. Use your organization’s Google or Microsoft account, or a work email address.
If you create a new workspace, Porcia takes you to onboarding and asks you to connect an organization provider. If you joined through an invitation, your workspace administrator may already have completed this setup and you can go directly to the dashboard.

​
Step 2: Connect your organization

During onboarding, Porcia recommends a provider based on how you signed up. If you signed up with Google, Google Workspace setup is shown first. If you signed up with Microsoft, Microsoft Entra setup is shown first. If you signed up with email, choose the provider your organization uses. The person completing this step must have the required administrator access in the provider. If you are not the right administrator, skip the step and send the setup guide to your IT administrator. You can return to Settings → Integrations later.
Google Workspace connects through a service account and domain-wide delegation. The guided setup shows the administrator what to authorize and where to complete it in Google Workspace.

Setup steps, visibility, and permission purposes
Once a provider is connected, Porcia begins building your application inventory. Depending on the provider and permissions granted, results can include applications, users, groups, authentication activity, delegated OAuth access, and relevant vendor signals from organizational mailboxes.
Provider connections require administrator approval. Porcia does not send email from connected customer mailboxes, and provider connections do not automatically change your identity-provider configuration.

​
Step 3: Add browser usage context

The browser extension helps identify applications and AI tools that may not appear in your provider. It can also provide enabled browser security signals, subject to workspace policy and user controls.
1

Install the extension

Install Porcia from the Chrome Web Store, or use your organization’s supported browser-management tool for a managed rollout.
2

Sign in

Open the Porcia extension and sign in with your Porcia account.

Review extension controls

Review the usage and privacy guides to understand available controls, exclusions, and enabled signal categories.

​
Step 4: Explore the app

After the first provider sync begins, use these areas to review what Porcia found:

Assets → Apps
