Begin your Pega journey with My Pega

1. If you already have an active Pega account, navigate to my.pega.com.
2. Otherwise, create a free Pega account. An active Pega account not only provides you with full access to all of Pega's websites such as Pega Community and Pega Academy, but it also allows you to own your Pega brand and see how well prepared your Organization is to implement Pega projects.

1. Ensure your organization’s email address is set as your primary email address. You may check this by navigating to My Settings in the top right menu next to your profile picture.
2. If your organization’s email is listed, but not your primary, mark it as primary using the 3-dot menu next to the email address.

3. If you don’t see your organization’s email in the list of “Other Email Addresses” (associated with this account)”, then click on the “Add Email Address” and follow the instructions. Please be sure to verify your new email when you get the verification email and sign out and back in again for the changes to take effect.
4. If you’re still having issues, please get in touch and we will assist.

Organization Administrators are able to access metrics on Organization specific badges (Private Badges) by executing the following steps:

1. Click the "Filter Button" at the top of the My Org page which will open the "Filter My Org Metrics" modal.
2. Select the checkbox "Include private badges specific to your organization"
3. Click "Apply Filters"

After My Org reloads the metrics will include private badges in the count of both "Enablement Badges in Progress" and "Recently Earned Enablement Badges". Note: Please be aware that the counts of Exam Ready/Certifications are not affected as there is no such thing as Private Certifications.

Managing Users is limited to an Organization’s Administrators. There are different Admin personas, including Training & Enablement, Support, Partnership, Partner Delivery, and each of these Admins has the ability to manage applicable roles. For a detailed description of each role's access and permissions, please see Manage Users Overview. 

Be sure to use your company-based email address, as your primary email, to ensure proper access to any exclusive Pega content or features only available to your company. If you encounter any Manage Users access issues contact [email protected].  

What is the purpose of manage users? Why is this tool important for me?

Manage Users allows adminstrators, who know their organization best, to maintain access and permissions for members.

The Manage Users Overview document contains a detailed list of all available roles and the permissions associated. 

General Support Access grants the user permission to the following resources:

• My Support Portal to create, view, update, and follow  support tickets.
• My Pega > My Software to order and download Pega software.
• My Pega > My Security Hotfixes to download Security related hotfixes.
• Pega Predictive Diagnostic Cloud to monitor the performance and health of applications, for both on-premises and cloud environments.

These default permissions are inherited by the additional support roles that can be assigned to users (Support Administrator, Security Contact, Cloud Operation Specialist, Cloud Deployment Specialist and Proactive Incident Contact).

For more information on managing support roles see understanding support user roles.

See the Partner FAQs for more information on Partner access and permissions.  

Group creation and access control is limited to Administrators of an organization. Client and Partner members should connect with their Client Success Manager or their Partner Enablement Representative respectively, for approval and access.

You may only search for and add members within your organization. If you cannot find the person via the search, they are likely outside of your organization, or they may not have an active account with Pega.

Access to your trial is SSO using the same credentials as at pega.com, My Pega, and all Pega sites. If you can’t login or you have other access issues, reach out to us for help.

Product documentation is available on Pega Community. Pega Academy is where you can learn in depth about Pega features, and the Support Center is great for specific questions. 

You can self-extend your trial 15 days with an action that becomes available the last week of your trial.

While you can only have one system at a time, there is no restriction on the number of times you can sign up. We encourage you to export your work and move it to a new trial when you need more time.

We power down systems when they have been inactive. You can wake up your instance anytime you need. Powering up will just take a couple of minutes.

Exporting from your trial is no problem. In App Studio you can export from the Application Overview or in Dev Studio you can use the Application / Distribution / Export tools.

Absolutely! There’s an invite user feature in App Studio designed just for this. However invited users will not have access to power up your trial from their My Trials page, so they will need to coordinate with you to wake up the system if needed. If you need an invited user to have access to power up your system, reach out to us.

If you don't see the My Software Feature in My Pega you may not be affiliated to the correct company. Please reach out to the Account Administrator in MSP within your organization to set up access.
