Guide
Getting started
A short path from first contact to manage, storage, and catalog claims on colorbars.pro.
1. Know what you are opening
colorbars.pro is the multi-tenant media & entertainment suite: owner → teams → scoped users, SSO, and JWT-style claims. The sibling desk at colorbars.dev is the day-to-day MoQ toolkit. Same operator; suite contract and commercial hierarchy live here.
2. Get access
- Briefing — use Contact (or Try it for free) so we know org, interest, and path.
- Invite — when you receive an invite link, open /invite and complete the PIN email flow.
- Manage login — return to /manage and sign in with the email PIN (SSO IdPs land as they are enabled for your tenant).
Until your org is provisioned, most manage surfaces stay gated. That is expected — ask via contact if you are stuck on verify.
3. Orient in the manage hub
After sign-in, start at the manage hub. Think in three layers:
- Owner — org-level enablement and teams.
- Teams — desks, regions, or brands.
- Scoped users — operators only see their team’s tools.
4. Connect storage (glue, not a new vendor)
Open Storage. Colorbars glues the object stores you already run (S3, GCS, Oracle, R2, and friends) into one place, with optional free/paid tier allowance. We are not selling you a replacement bucket brand — we help paths, mezzanine, and catalog objects agree.
Bucket-level work lives under Buckets (including moq.pro and BYO connectors when enabled for your tenant).
5. Claims and catalog
- Mint or review scopes on Claims — session tokens and PATs that unlock storage, catalog, and moq.pro surfaces.
- Open Catalog — live / replay / VOD rows follow the claims your team holds. Change geo or codec scopes and the visible set updates.
6. moq.pro collaboration
For enterprise and broadcast MoQ paths, Colorbars supports and contributes to moq.pro — collaboration and extension, not a pass-through storefront. Service notes: Services · moq.pro. Protocol reading: doc.moq.dev.
7. Where to go next
- Overview — suite vs desk in one page.
- Storage guide — connectors and allowance.
- Services — offerings and engagement shape.
- colorbars.dev — desk toolkit and benches.
- Card / Contact — talk to the team.
