Post-Install Configuration
How to configure CIPP after you've completed installation.
For Hosted Clients
If you’re using a CyberDrain hosted instance of CIPP:
Log in at management.cipp.app to manage users.
From the Management Portal, click Invite User, which generates a shareable invite link.
NOTE: Clicking on Invite User will return the invite link to you directly. You must share this link with the user. It is not e-mailed or sent to the user in any way.
Once your CIPP installation completes successfully, follow the steps below to finalize access and roles.
Tip: If you see a red “X” in your deployment status, the install failed. Delete the resource group in the Azure Portal and redeploy.
For Self-Hosted Deployments
Add Yourself as an Admin
Open the Azure Portal and locate your CIPP Resource Group.
Find the CIPP Static Web App (e.g., CIPP-SWA-XXXX).
Click Role Management (not IAM Role Management).
Select Invite User.
In the “UPN” field, enter the Microsoft 365 UPN (user principal name) of the person you want to add (likely yourself upfront).
Assign the Admin role.
Save your changes.
Test Your Access
Go to the URL for your Static Web App (SWA).
Log in with the same UPN you just added.
If successful, you’ll have admin privileges within CIPP.
Next Steps
With user access established, you can:
Invite other team members or clients (using the same Role Management process or the management portal for hosted users.).
Configure advanced settings (e.g., custom domains, environment variables, or additional roles).
Congratulations! You’re now ready to use CIPP for tenant management in your Azure environment.
