Accessing Your Workspace as Admin

Once your Rocket.Chat workspace is deployed, you can access it as an administrator using either the desktop client or a web browser.

Option 1: Using the desktop client

1. Download and install the Rocket.Chat desktop client.

2. Launch the application.

3. Enter your workspace URL (e.g., http://localhost:3000 or your domain URL).

4. Click Connect.

5. (Optional) Click the plus (+) icon in the sidebar to add additional workspace URLs.

Option 2: Using a web browser

1. Open your preferred browser.

2. Enter your workspace URL in the address bar.

   • This could be http://localhost:3000 for local deployments or a domain URL depending on your deployment method.

3. Press Enter to access the login screen.

Note: Your workspace URL can vary depending on how Rocket.Chat was deployed. For example, local installations use localhost, while cloud or server-based deployments will use a custom domain.

What happens next?

Once you've successfully accessed the workspace:

• The setup wizard is launched if you're logging in for the first time.

• After setup, you can begin customizing your workspace, inviting users, and exploring client applications for different platforms.
