Creating a user profile significantly enhances the functionality and usefulness of the Hub. Being a user allows you to:
Without a Hub profile, you can still explore and learn about existing projects, organizations, and resources on the Hub, but you cannot add your own efforts, communicate with other Hub members, or receive relevant updates.
To create a user profile, click "Sign Up" in the top right corner of every page of the Hub. Complete the relevant fields (e.g., name, email address, username, etc.). Read the Terms & Conditions. If you agree, click the checkbox. Fill out all other relevant fields on the page. Click the next checkbox if you'd like to receive the Mandate's water stewardship newsletter. Type "Action" next to "Please fill in the blank." Click "Register Now!"
The Hub will send now send you an email asking you to confirm your membership and activate your account. Click on the link.
You now are a Hub user!
You have ten days to associate yourself with an organization or project or your account will be suspended.
Log into your account by clicking "Log In" in the top right corner of any page of the Hub (just to the left of "Sign Up"). Enter your username and password and click "Log in".

Press "enter" or "return" on your keyboard. On the next page, scroll down and click on the name of the organization you wish to join. On their profile page, click the orange "Join" button".
That's it! The primary contact for that organization now must approve your join request. Once they have done so, you will be an official member of that organization on the Hub.
Log into your account by clicking \"Log In\" in the top right corner of any page of the Hub (just to the left of \"Sign Up.\") Enter your username and password and click \"Log in".

The next page offers an opportunity to list various locations related to your organization, including your offices and production facilities, where you have risks, existing projects, where you might be interested in a project, where you have suppliers, and more. To add a location, click the spot on the map where it is located. You can zoom in using the \"+\" icon at the bottom right of the map to get as precise as possible. Once you've clicked on your location, enter the name of the location, add any additional relevant information under \"Show advanced options\", and click \"Create Location.\" Create as many locations as helpful by repeating this process.
"Organizations" and "Projects are the two primary types of data points on the Hub global map. "Organizations" are generally permanent legal entities with employees, whereas "Projects" are generally the specific, often location-based, time-bound efforts of that organization to advance water stewardship.
On the Hub, both "Organizations" and "Projects" can add members and upload and share resources. All users can join multiple "organizations" and multiple "projects." However, only "organizations" can list "risks", "manufacturing sites", "agriculture sites", and "corporate offices" as location types.

You and other users can fill three core roles with respect to Hub project and organization profiles, with increasing levels of responsibility and capability:
Members are involved in the relevant project, organization, or resource, and receive email updates and notifications accordingly, but do not have Hub administrative capabilities.
Admins are able to add, subject, and edit members; edit project details, administer polls, etc. in the Hub.
Primary Contacts are the only administrators for the project or organizations to receive messages directed at that project, organization, or resource. They are expected to be the primary knowledge holder for the project, approve or reject join requests, update the project status regularly, and respond to messages.
