# Go-live checklist

You've completed initial setup and run your first investigation. Before you
roll Mesh out to your whole organization, walk through this checklist to
confirm the tenant is ready for everyday use. Every item links to the page
that shows you how.

## Data foundations

- [ ] **Your identity provider is connected and syncing.** The IdP connector
  shows **Connected**, collections complete without errors, and identities
  from your IdP appear in the dashboard. See
  [Connect your identity provider](./idp-setup.md).
- [ ] **At least one source connector is healthy.** Beyond the IdP, at least
  one source system — an HR system, a cloud directory, or an ITSM tool —
  reports **Connected** and completes its collections, and its accounts are
  correlated to identities. See
  [Set up your first connector](./first-connector.md) and browse
  [Connectors & Integrations](../connectors/index.md) for what else to
  connect.

## Access and security

- [ ] **Admin groups and roles are assigned.** The right IdP groups grant
  **Admin** access, standard users get the **User** role, and you belong to
  an admin group yourself. See
  [Signing in, roles, and access](../admin-guide/roles-and-access.md).
- [ ] **The sign-in identity provider is configured.** Users sign in to Mesh
  through your organization's IdP with single sign-on — this is separate
  from the IdP data connector. See
  [Identity providers (sign-in)](../admin-guide/identity-providers/index.md).
- [ ] **Audit logging is reviewed.** You know where the audit log lives, what
  Mesh records, and how to export it for compliance reporting. See
  [Audit logging](../admin-guide/audit-logging.md).
- [ ] **You have a connector credential rotation plan.** Each connector
  credential's expiry date is in your rotation calendar, and you know how to
  replace a secret before it lapses. See
  [Manage connector credentials](../admin-guide/credential-management.md).

## People readiness

- [ ] **You've completed the dashboard walkthrough.** You can read the
  overall risk score, the bubble chart, and an identity's risk signals, and
  you can show others how. See
  [Your first dashboard view](./first-dashboard-view.md).
- [ ] **Support paths are known.** Your team knows how to diagnose common
  sign-in, connector, and export issues, how to check service status, and
  what to include when contacting Axiad. See
  [Troubleshooting and getting help](../admin-guide/troubleshooting-and-support.md).

## After go-live

Keep the momentum going:

- Add more connectors as you expand coverage — the correlation gets better
  with every source. See [Connectors & Integrations](../connectors/index.md).
- Resolve profiling gaps as they appear to keep your risk score accurate.
  See [Identities](../concepts/identities.md#profiling-gaps).
- Watch the [release notes](/release-notes) for new connectors and features.
