# 1. Become Oten developer

**What you’ll do:** Register to become an application developer on the Oten ecosystem.

**Why it matters:**

**Account type will define scope of actions on our Oten developer portal.** 

* **Organization account:** Choose this option if you’re creating an account for a company or organization. You’ll need to verify your organization’s information.
* **Individual account:** Choose this option if you’re creating an account for yourself and are not currently associated with any organization or company. For example, if you’re an independent developer, student, or hobbyist, you can still explore and build on Oten.

**Steps:**

1. On the [**Oten Developer**](https://developer.oten.com/) page, click **sign in** to open the account registration page.
2. **If registering an individual account:**
   * Follow the steps to [create an individual account](https://support.oten.live/support/user-guide/oten-account-management-app/create-personal-account) on Oten IDP.
   * After successfully creating your account, review and accept the **terms and conditions** of the platform to become a verified developer on Oten.
3. **If registering an organization account:**
   * Follow the steps to [create an organization account](https://support.oten.live/support/user-guide/oten-account-management-app/create-business-account) on Oten IDP.
   * After successfully creating the account, assign roles to members within your workspace, granting them **Developer** [permissions](https://support.oten.live/support/user-guide/oten-workspace-app/guide-to-manage-role-and-permissions) on Oten.

**Common mistakes:**

* Developers may not fully understand the benefits of choosing between a **Personal** or **Business** account type when registering as a developer on the Oten ecosystem.
