What is a Production Organization?

💡

Your single source of truth for live operations A production organization is a dedicated environment within the Atlar platform where you centralize all live resources, team members, and third-party connections (e.g. banks, PSPs, or ERPs). This is the one and only organization where real transactions, accounts, and integrations should be set up.

A production organization lets you structure and manage your team, accounts, and connections in a secure and efficient way—tailored to your company’s operational needs.

How to set up the production organization

Before creating your production organization, we recommend reading the Best Practice section below.

Follow these steps to set up your production environment:

1. Go to app.atlar.com.
2. Click Create New Account.
3. Verify your email address and log in to the dashboard.
4. Select Start Fresh – No accounts or test data.
5. (Optional but strongly recommended) Set up Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA):
   1. Click your organization name in the bottom-left corner and go to My Account.
   2. Click Enable Multi-Factor Authentication.
   3. Sign in again if prompted.
   4. Click Enable Multi-Factor Authentication once more and choose your preferred MFA method (security key or passkey).
   5. Set a key name and follow the instructions to complete MFA setup.

Your production organization and MFA are now ready to use.

Best practice

Owner role

When a new production organization is created, the user who creates it is automatically assigned the Owner role.

• The Owner role has full access to all Atlar functionality and is required for initial setup (approval chains, roles, users, etc.).
• To protect credentials associated with the Owner role:
  • Enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and set up at least one backup MFA method.
  • Avoid using the Owner role for day-to-day tasks like checking balances—create a separate role for routine operations.
• If the person holding the Owner role leaves the company or changes roles, make sure to transfer ownership.

Beware of phishing attacks

Atlar support will never ask for your password or programmatic access credentials. Do not click on unexpected links in emails that appear to come from Atlar. Only trust emails related to actions you initiated (e.g. signing up, password resets, or user invitations).

Four-Eyes Approvals

Four-eyes approval ensures that critical changes are reviewed by two authorized users before taking effect.

• During implementation, four-eyes approval is optional, allowing you to establish the correct setup first.
• Once live and inviting more users, enable four-eyes approvals to protect sensitive settings such as:
  • User management
  • Payment approval chains
• Note: four-eyes approval applies to organizational changes, not payment approvals. Learn more in the Four-Eyes Approvals guide.
