Setup and sources
Settings opens Setup. Status comes from what Meridian has observed. Connect a provider, gateway, or billing export on Integrations. The page title is Integrations. A source card uses Connect, then Manage and Sync now once it is connected.
The steps are How to connect a provider.
People and departments
Team is in the top nav. The Governance card for the same page is Team Management, and the line under it is "Invite members and assign roles." Send the invitation from Invite colleagues.
Departments is the Governance card "Cost allocation by team." Add the department before that team's spend should land on it.
Inviting is How to invite a colleague. The first-week narrative is A new team starts using AI.
Teams, separately
Settings → Microsoft Teams & Copilot says "Optional. Only needed to use Meridian in Teams or Copilot. Meridian sign-in is unchanged." Allow everyone in our tenant stays off until an owner turns it on. The help text says "When on, people in this Microsoft tenant can use the Teams agent as members."
