- Logout of the tenant admin account and login as one of the newly created users with the frevvo.Designer role and start building forms and workflows.

For example, if the newly created tenant was named example.com then all users in that tenant must login using the ID: user@example.com. If you prefer to enter the username and tenant name in their own login page input fields, the configuration parameter, frevvo.login.show.tenant, can be modified to display the tenant name input field.
