# Administrator quickstart

> Learn how to use 1Password developer tools to administer your team.

By the end of this guide, you’ll:

* Set up the 1Password app and CLI for administrative workflows.
* Connect your 1Password account to your SIEM or security tools.
* Prepare your team to use 1Password in development workflows.

<Tip>
  To use 1Password developer tools to manage your organization, you'll need a [1Password Business](https://1password.com/business-security), [1Password Enterprise](https://1password.com/enterprise-security), or [1Password Teams](https://1password.com/product/teams-small-business-password-manager) account, and an [owner](https://support.1password.com/1password-glossary/#owner) or [administrator](https://support.1password.com/1password-glossary/#administrator) role.
</Tip>

## Step 1: Install the 1Password app

Install 1Password for [Mac](https://1password.com/downloads/mac), [Windows](https://1password.com/downloads/windows), or [Linux](https://1password.com/downloads/linux) and sign in with your administrator account. After you install the app:

1. Open the 1Password app and select your account or collection at the top of the sidebar.
2. Navigate to **Settings** > **Security**.
3. Turn on the setting to unlock the app using [Touch ID](https://support.1password.com/touch-id-mac/), [Windows Hello](https://support.1password.com/windows-hello/), or [Linux system authentication](https://support.1password.com/system-authentication-linux/). This allows you to authenticate most developer tools with your fingerprint.

## Step 2: Turn on the 1Password Developer experience

To turn on the developer tools section of the app:

1. Open the 1Password app and select your account or collection at the top of the sidebar.
2. Navigate to **Settings** > **[Developer](onepassword://settings/developers)**.
3. Turn on **Show 1Password Developer experience**.

You'll see a new **Developer** entry in the sidebar with access to your SSH keys, CLI activity, Environments, and Watchtower.

## Step 3: Install 1Password CLI

1Password CLI (`op`) is the fastest way to get started programmatically managing your team. To install [1Password CLI](/cli), run the following command or [download the latest release](https://app-updates.agilebits.com/product_history/CLI2).

<Tabs groupId="admin-quickstart-cli">
  <Tab title="homebrew">
    ```shell theme={null}
    brew install 1password-cli
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="winget">
    ```shell theme={null}
    winget install 1password-cli
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

<Tip>
  See the [full CLI installation guide](/cli/get-started) for requirements and additional Windows, Linux, and manual installation options.
</Tip>

Then turn on the app integration to sign in with the accounts you’ve added to the app and authenticate requests using your fingerprint.

1. Open the 1Password app and select your account or collection at the top of the sidebar.
2. Navigate to **Settings** > **[Developer](onepassword://settings/developers)**.
3. Select **Integrate with 1Password CLI**.

Enter any command to sign in. For example, to list all the vaults you have access to:

```shell theme={null}
op vault list 
```

  </video>
</Frame>

<Tip>
  You can also use [1Password SDKs](/sdks) to build integrations with Go, JavaScript, or Python.

### Monitor 1Password account activity

You can use the [1Password Events API](/events-api/) to stream activity from your 1Password account into your SIEM.

1. On 1Password.com, go to **Integrations** > **Events Reporting**.
2. Choose your SIEM from the list or select **Other**.
3. Name the integration and issue a bearer token scoped to the event types you need. Make sure to save the token in 1Password.
4. Configure your SIEM to pull events from the API.

### Prepare your team to use developer tools

Take these actions before you roll out developer tools to your team:

* Configure your [team policies](/get-started/secure-developers#configure-team-policies).
* Set up [shared resources](/get-started/secure-developers#set-up-shared-resources) like Environments, vaults, and service accounts.
* Learn how to [onboard your team](/get-started/secure-developers#roll-out-developer-tools).
