Setting up CodeCatalyst
There are two common paths for setting up to work in Amazon CodeCatalyst: creating a space and a project as the first user, and accepting an invitation to an existing space or project. These setup workflows are necessarily quite different. The following diagram shows both sign-up processes as follows:
-
In the first case, you create and set up a space for your company, team, or group, and create a project before inviting others to these resources. An AWS account must be provided for billing purposes, where you can still default to the Free tier.
-
In the second case, if you join CodeCatalyst by accepting an invitation to a project, someone else has already created a space and project for you. However, you'll still want to configure your profile so that you're ready to start working with others.
Tip
CodeCatalyst uses spaces to group projects and resources. When you first sign up for CodeCatalyst, you'll be prompted to create a space as well as a project.
Whether you sign up to create a space and project or you sign up as part of accepting an invitation, you create an AWS Builder ID that you will use to log in to CodeCatalyst. To create an AWS Builder ID, you provide the full name, password, and email address that you use to sign in to AWS applications. You use the email and password to sign in to CodeCatalyst after this point. You can also use this AWS Builder ID to log in to other applications that use AWS Builder ID credentials.
In CodeCatalyst and in AWS Builder ID, a profile is generated based on your login information. Your profile contains your CodeCatalyst preferences for language and notification settings in your CodeCatalyst projects.
