# Admin guide overview

> What Valedo does for your organisation and what you need before you start.

This manual is for administrators in a customer organisation: the IT admin who subscribes and deploys Valedo, and the people who design signatures and decide who gets which one. For what your colleagues see in Outlook, send them the [user guide](https://docs.valedo.uniwave.ai/user-guide/using-valedo.md).

> [!WARNING]
>
> **Status: in development.** Valedo is not generally available yet. This manual describes how it will work; screens and wording may change before launch.

## What Valedo does

* You design one or more **signature templates** (for example *Sales – EN*, *Support – LT*, *Black Friday banner*).
* You write **rules** that decide which template each person gets: by group, department or other directory fields, by date range, by sending mailbox, and by whether they write a new message, a reply or a forward.
* When someone starts a message in Outlook, Valedo inserts the matching signature, filled in with their own name, job title, phone numbers and other details from Microsoft Entra ID.

People don't install anything and don't maintain their own signature.

## Supported Outlook clients

Outlook on the web, the new Outlook for Windows, and classic Outlook for Windows. Valedo works through an Outlook add-in that your admin deploys for the organisation.

## What you need

| Requirement | Why |
| - | - |
| Microsoft 365 with Exchange Online | Signatures are inserted in Outlook mailboxes |
| A **Global Administrator** or **Privileged Role Administrator** for onboarding | Valedo needs permission to read users and group memberships; Microsoft requires one of these roles to approve that |
| An administrator who can deploy apps in **Microsoft 365 admin center → Integrated apps** | To deploy the add-in to users |
| A way to pay through Microsoft Marketplace | Valedo is billed through your Microsoft invoice |

## Where you work

| Place | Used for |
| - | - |
| Microsoft Marketplace and Microsoft 365 admin center | Buying, cancelling and paying; deploying the add-in |
| Valedo Admin Portal (`admin.valedo.uniwave.ai`) | Templates, rules, images, directory, subscription details, audit, settings |
| Microsoft Entra admin center | Giving colleagues a Valedo admin role |
