Setting up your workspace

A few quick tips to make sure you get off to a great start.

Welcome to Shinami!

This guide is for you if you just made a Shinami account. It shows you key steps to take to set up your account. It doesn't cover anything about your integration.

Here's how to

invite a team member.

Maybe you like working alone. That's cool. Skip to the next section.

If you prefer working on a team (like me) you'll want to visit the Workspace page of your dashboard.
Note: only admins can invite others. When you create an account, you're an admin.

  1. If you were invited to multiple workspaces, you'll switch between them here. Lucky you. So popular.
  2. The workspace button takes you to the... you guessed it.
  3. Set the workspace to your company, app, or pet's name - something the person you invite will recognize.
  4. Invite someone. By default, they're a regular user and you're an admin with the power of a god!!!*
  5. If you mistyped the email, or suddenly decide that you actually do want to work alone, you can remove the invite.
  6. This is the email we send important things like billing emails and key product updates to. By default it's the person who made the account. That's a lot of pressure for one person! If this is better as another email, like [email protected], reach out to us at [email protected] and let us know you want to change it. Are we proud of the fact that you can't edit it in the dashboard? No. Is it "on the backlog"? Yes.
  7. Choose a side.
  8. Obviously you'll never want to log out of our product, so you can ignore this one.

*Okay, technically just the power to change the workspace name, invite and remove teammates, and update billing info. For more on workspaces and roles, see the Workspaces FAQ page of our Help Center.

understand billing and choose a node plan.

To read about what you get for free and what you have to pay for, see your dashboard's Billing page. It has a tab for each product with an explanation of what's free and what you pay for.

If you need a Node Service - and, don't we all - this is where you also can adjust your plan. By default, your account is has a free plan. If you need more QPS or requests, you can sign up for a different plan (or email us at [email protected] to discuss an enterprise plan).

  1. Click here to get to the Billing page.
  2. Choose the tab of the service you want to learn about.
  3. For Sui Node Service (and soon Aptos) you can upgrade your plan here if you need more requests than the free plan offers.
