Create an Account & Become a User

This page covers the human onboarding flow for High Limit Designs. By the end you will have a verified HLD account, a Firebase-backed identity, and access to the dashboard, brains, and agent surfaces.

1. Open the application

Navigate to the HLD web application:

https://highlimitdesigns.com

The app is a the HLD Sovereign Interface surface backed by HLD Auth Service, HLD Data Core (via the internal data layer), and The Mind (The Mind) as the memory/intelligence layer.

2. Start the sign-up flow

From the landing page:

  1. Click Sign In / Sign Up (top-right of the nav bar).
  2. You are routed to the auth screen at /auth.
  3. Choose Create Account.

HLD uses HLD Auth Serviceentication as the identity provider. Supported methods:

Method Notes
Email + Password Standard email verification flow
Google OAuth One-click SSO
(Enterprise) Stack Auth Used for admin/owner scopes on some surfaces

3. Verify your identity

  • If you registered with email, check your inbox for a verification link from Firebase.
  • Click the link. Firebase marks the account emailVerified = true.
  • Return to the app — the session is now active.

Note: Certain high-privilege actions (brain creation, API key issuance, admin panels) require a verified email. Unverified accounts are restricted to read-only browsing.

4. Your first session

Once verified, you land in the Dashboard (/(dashboard)/dashboard). From here you can:

  • Build a Brain — /brain — define an agent persona, attach company context, and wire up tools.
  • Manage API Keys — /api-keys — issue keys for your own integrations.
  • Visit the Playground — /playground — run inference against HLD's model gateway.
  • Track Usage — /usage — monitor credits and request volume.

5. Account model & roles

HLD uses a role ladder stored in the identity provider's server metadata:

Role Capabilities
viewer Read public content, browse brains
member Create brains, issue personal API keys, use playground
admin Manage org resources, access AXON admin (/admin, owner-only)
owner Full control, billing, agent vault management

Roles are assigned at sign-up (member by default) and escalated by an owner.

6. Password & recovery

  • Use the Forgot Password link on /auth — Firebase sends a secure reset link.
  • HLD never stores your raw password; all credential logic is handled by HLD Auth Service.
  • For enterprise SSO, contact api-support@manus.ai (or your HLD account manager) to enable Stack Auth scoped to your domain.

7. Becoming a "power user"

After your account is live, the fastest way to extract value is to connect a Brain to a real workflow:

  1. Go to /brain → New Brain.
  2. Define name, codename, company context, and soul_* fields.
  3. Attach tool permissions (the gateway enforces RBAC at request time).
  4. Test in the Playground before deploying.

Every action you take is mirrored to The Mind for auditability. If it isn't in The Mind, it didn't happen.

Troubleshooting

Symptom Cause Fix
"Not authenticated" on /brain/[id] Server component missing Firebase UID Re-authenticate; clear stale session
Verification email not arriving Spam filter or typo'd email Resend from /auth; check spam
403 on /admin Not owner role Contact the Fleet owner (Zad)
API 401 on /api/v1/* Expired idToken Re-run the auth exchange
