Step 2: Add users to the organization

After logging in, you’ll land on your dashboard where tasks assigned to you will be presented, and you’ll get an overview of your recent projects.

As an organization administrator, you’re able to add, modify and remove users to your organization. Let’s add a new user.

1. Go to Organization in the sidebar on the left

2. Head to the User Management page

3. Click on + Add User in the top right

4. You’ll get a popup where you can set the first and last name of the user, and their email address. Here you can also decide if the new user should have organization admin rights

   Warning: Organization admins have permission to see everything on your organization and modify it. Only give organization admin rights to users who need these rights.

5. Notify the new user that they can now log in at app.modulos.ai following the guidance in Step 1.

User Management

Step 3: Start setting up and customizing your organization

Begin setting up and customizing your organization by making choices on how your organization operates.

1. Go to the Settings page under Organization in the sidebar

2. Under Frameworks users can view a list of uploaded frameworks, categorized by AI Applications and Organizational Projects. This section allows users to browse each framework’s content, examining its controls and requirements in detail before initiating a project.

List of Frameworks

3. Under Customization, you’ll see the various tag categories for your organization, such as the risk taxonomy or the AI System Lifecycle stages. We have pre-filled these with default values, but you may want to edit them to adapt them to your organization’s needs.

   Note: Some tags cannot be edited, either because they are set by law (such as the EU AI Act Risk Classification) or because they are needed for interoperability between different Modulos organizations.

4. Under Settings, you can select the accounting currency which your organization uses.

   Note: Your organization can only have one accounting currency. Changing this currency will later on will not convert monetary values and only change the currency symbol.

Step 4: Create your first project

Begin your AI governance activities by creating your first project. There are two types of projects on Modulos:

• AI Applications, which represent individual use cases, products or systems, and
• Organizational Projects, which are used to track activity concerning either your whole organization, or a specific sub-unit.

Let’s start our first AI Application.

1. Click on Projects in the sidebar to navigate to the project list. On this page, you can change between AI Applications and Organizational Projects. Let’s stay on AI Applications.

2. Click + New Project in the top right to start the project creation process.

   Warning: Your organization’s license limits the number of projects you can create.

3. In the first step of the New Project creation process, you can set the Project Name, a brief description of the project, and its type (AI Application or Organizational Project). Click Next to proceed to the next step.

4. In the second step, you can add other users to the project. Click + Add User to the Project to add a user and assign them one or more roles. Learn more about Project Roles. You can always add or remove users later, so when you are done, click Next to proceed.

5. In the third and final step, you can select which frameworks you want to use in the new project. The project cards give you a short summary of each framework.

   Note: Modulos operates on one Modulos Control Framework (MCF) mapped to different frameworks listed here, so by fulfilling a Control, you may make progress towards several frameworks.

6. Click Create Project to complete the process.

With your project created, you are now ready to start working on it. Start fulfilling a control.
