Beta Registration

BeamUp private SLC access is code-gated. WorkOS proves browser identity with GitHub, and BeamUp admits new users only after a one-time beta access code is redeemed.

First Registration

1. Open the private beta dashboard URL from your invitation.
2. Select Continue with GitHub.
3. Complete WorkOS/GitHub sign-in in the hosted browser flow.
4. If this is your first BeamUp login, the dashboard redirects to /register.
5. Enter the one-time beta access code from your invitation.
6. After the code is accepted, BeamUp creates your user and starts a secure dashboard session.
7. You land on the authenticated app dashboard. If no apps exist yet, the dashboard shows the CLI path beginning with beamup login and beamup deploy.

The beta access code is used only once. Returning browser sign-ins with the same WorkOS identity do not ask for another code.

Returning Browser Login

Open the dashboard URL and select Continue with GitHub. If the WorkOS identity already maps to a BeamUp user, BeamUp starts a new dashboard session and sends you to /dashboard.

Returning login does not create a new user and does not consume a beta code.

Browser Logout

Use the dashboard Log out action to end the browser session. Browser logout is separate from CLI logout:

• Browser logout clears the dashboard session cookie.
• beamup logout revokes and removes the stored CLI token from the OS keychain.
• A browser session does not place a BeamUp token in browser storage or expose one to JavaScript.

Registration Errors

Invalid, expired, revoked, and already-used beta codes all show the same safe registration error. BeamUp does not disclose which condition applied.

If the registration window expires or cannot be verified, start sign-in again from the browser login page. If WorkOS or GitHub sign-in is temporarily unavailable, wait and retry. Existing unexpired CLI tokens and dashboard sessions are not invalidated just because the identity provider is unavailable.

Security Notes

• Do not send beta access codes in shared logs or screenshots.
• Beta access codes are not accepted by beamup login; the CLI can only log in after browser registration has created your BeamUp user.
• BeamUp never receives your GitHub password.
