Who this is for: Tenant administrators who have just been given access to a new Claude for Government deployment and need to get it ready for the rest of their agency.The setup wizard walks you through the things that need to be in place before everyone else can use Claude: a verified email domain, a connection to your identity provider, at least one organization, seats for that organization, and a routing rule that places people in it. Before single sign-on is connected, you sign in with a single-use link that the sign-in page emails to you on request. See Emailed sign-in link. Until the required steps are complete, a Resume setup banner appears at the top of the tenant admin pages, and its button opens the wizard. If you land in another view, use the footer links to reach the tenant view. Every step in the wizard edits the same settings as the matching page in the full admin portal. You can leave the wizard at any point using Continue later.
Wizard steps
Welcome step
The first step is a read-only summary of what Anthropic has already set up for you. If a detail looks wrong (for example, the tenant name is misspelled), contact Anthropic before going further, because the tenant name cannot be changed from the portal.Domains step
Video: Verify your domain and connect single sign-on (2 min 24 s). Narrated with an AI-generated voice, with on-screen captions.
Single sign-on step
Until single sign-on is connected, only tenant administrators and Primary Owners can sign in, by emailed link. The full field reference for both protocols is on the Identity and access page. Once single sign-on is connected, people sign in from a Claude app or the web portal, and Claude for Government sends them to your provider from there. After connecting, use Test sign-in on this step to check that it works.Provisioning step
This step is optional, though highly recommended. If your identity provider supports SCIM, you can connect it here so that accounts are created automatically. To connect it, see SCIM provisioning. This step labels the SCIM base URL Tenant URL. You do not have to finish the provider-side setup before moving on. Once your provider has pushed at least one group, you can add provisioning rules that place people by group membership on the Identity and access page.Organizations step
You need at least one organization before you can route anyone anywhere. If Anthropic already created one, this step lists it and you can move on. To add one, fill in the Add organization form, described under Adding an organization. For Primary Owner email, choose someone on one of your verified domains who has no active account in your tenant yet. No invitation is sent, so let them know.Seats and spend caps step
This step lets you give each organization seats and, optionally, a spend cap. It shows a seat-count field for the first seat tier. For per-tier control, use the full Seats page after setup. If the step says there are no seats to distribute, continue. Each organization then needs a seat tier of its own before its members can use Claude. You can adjust caps later from the tenant Billing page.Routing step
Routing rules decide which organization a person lands in when they sign in. A new person who does not match any rule cannot sign in at all, so you need at least one rule that covers your users. A single rule that maps your main email domain to your main organization is enough to get started. To add one, use the form:- In the If field, choose Anyone with email domain, and in the second field pick the domain.
- In the Then place in field, pick the organization.
- Click Add rule.
