This quick start gets you from “we just signed up” to “we have a recorded session to look at” in roughly 20 minutes. Use it to evaluate Syteca, prove the concept to a stakeholder, or onboard a new admin.

​
Before you start

  • A Syteca SaaS tenant URL and an admin login. If you don’t have one, request a trial.
  • One Windows endpoint you can install software on. A spare laptop or VM is fine.
  • 20 minutes of uninterrupted time.

​
1. Sign in to your tenant

Open your tenant URL in a current Chromium or Firefox browser. Sign in with the credentials from your welcome email.
Bookmark the tenant URL you received in your welcome email.There’s no shared production login for SaaS.

​
2. Add your first user

Skip this if you’ll be the only person testing.
1

Open Users → Add user

From the left nav, choose Users, then Add user in the top right.
2

Fill in name, email, and role

For evaluation, assign the Supervisor role. It can view sessions but not change configuration — safer than the deafult full admin.

​
3. Get the client installer

1

Open Endpoints → Add client

Choose Clients in the left nav, then Add client.
2

Pick the Windows installer

Choose Windows (x64) and click Download. The file is SytecaClient-x64.msi.
3

Copy the agent key

The same page shows an Agent key. Copy it — you’ll need it during install.

​
4. Install on your endpoint

For evaluation, the GUI installer is fastest.
When prompted:
  • Server address: your tenant URL without the https:// prefix.
  • Server port: 9447.
  • Agent key: paste the value from step 3.
The installer registers automatically. For silent installs and Group Policy rollout, see Install a Windows Client.

​
5. Watch it appear

Back in the Management Tool, open Clients. Within 30 seconds the new endpoint shows up with Status: Online.

​
6. Generate a session

On the endpoint, sign in as any user and do something interactive — open a browser, edit a file, run a command. After about a minute, the Application Server has the first session.

​
7. Review the session

1

Open Sessions

Back in the Management Tool, choose Sessions in the left nav.
2

Pick the most recent row

The newest session is at the top. Click the row to open the Session Player.
3

Scrub through the recording

Use the timeline to scrub. The right-side panel shows keystrokes, application names, and window titles, all searchable.

​
Next steps

Set up your first alert

Detect risky behavior and respond automatically.

Connect a privileged account

Vault a secret and broker a brokered RDP/SSH session.

Enable 2FA for admins

Add a second factor to every administrator account.

Roll out to more endpoints
