Getting Started

There are two ways to register to use KWS:

• Using your Epic Games sign-in details, register directly with KWS as the first/sole user for a new KWS organization. You automatically have full administrator rights on the new organization. Within the KWS Developer Portal, you can invite colleagues to join the organization.
• By invitation. If a KWS administrator invites you to join their KWS organization, you will receive an email with a link to register. When you register, KWS links your account to that organization, and assigns you the role(s) that the administrator specified in the invitation.

To register as the first/sole user for a new KWS organization and start using KWS for the first time, go to the KWS launch page and click Get Started Now. KWS prompts you to register using your Epic Games account credentials.
