# Getting Started

## Getting Started

Start here if you are new to TZone.

This section gives every user the same strong foundation before they move into role-based work.

### What you will learn

* how to sign in and complete initial setup
* how to navigate the workspace and dashboard
* how roles affect access and responsibility
* how requests move through approval and validation
* where to go next based on your role
